  • Operating system : Ubuntu 14.04.5

Note: this guide is obsolete, for a more up-to-date version visit Moloch v1.7.0 – Installation

Installation of Moloch is no trivial matter, that is why we have prepared this guide on how to set up the system in cloud environment. The server obtains an IP address dynamically through DHCP, therefore no editing of the interface configuration file is required.

Nload

Version : 0.7.4

Nload is a console application which monitors network traffic and bandwidth usage in real time. The gathered statistics are displayed in two separate graphs (one for uplink and one for downlink). Nload also provides detailed information about the total amount of transferred data and average, minimum and maximum transfer rate. We used this application in its simplest mode – Nload interface. There are, however, many different display options and additional configuration options you can read about in the application’s man page – $ man nload.
