<p>Dear list,</p>
<div>I got a question on how to do this best. I wrote a (bash) script which executed every minute collects the traffic to and from external for each ip address and also calculates the overall traffic. The is based on iptables and based on the arp table. So every time the script es executed it checks what ips are available. A typical output would be something like this:</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;">What do you suggest to include this in collectd because I want to use a gui like CGP to visualize it Currently I am creating my own rrd graphs but the rrd files are not compatible with the iptables plugin.</div>
