Ubiquiti Router: Reports / Rules / Etc
-
Thanks to @scottalanmiller and @JaredBusch; I have a nice flowing network currently... well.. as nice as can currently be with a mess still behind it.
While I still sifting through the book and forum, I just wonder what kind of reporting can be generated from it. While I understand UT is a full OS with 'stuff on top', it had what I felt was some good reporting tools. It was pretty easy to see what was being passed back and forth, which is how I found a computer being used to access a gaming site - without the user knowing.
It would be rather nice to see some of the reports that I had access too with UT.. at least to some degree...
Thoughts? Pointers?

Honestly I would keep the "reports" off the router itself. You don't want to have to restart or have a router failed or bouged down because of reporting.
SNMP is one good way to get information from a router. I tend to like MRTG http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/. As far as web traffic monitoring a content filter (which Untangled has bulit in as it has multiple levels of OSI in one device). Proxy servers are the most common way of doing this but they can need a beefy server depending on your users as all traffic goes through it. I've grown to like Nxfilter which using dns filter rather than context based which means it can be bypassed but, it does not have the quirks of a proxy server. http://www.nxfilter.org/

You can of course turn on port mirroring and use wire shark but, good luck sorting through it.

Agreed - nice,.. but i don't need that much detail nor do I have that sort of time. Who does?

MRTG is good - I've used them before.

I agree that SNMP is ideal.
