[collectd] Traffic accounting and Collectd

[Benjamin Schweikert]

Dear list, 
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: 

2015.04.01-19:30:01 192.168.2.1 0 0 28035 76 
2015.04.01-19:30:01 192.168.1.100 481 658 161480 131296

$IP $UP $DOWN $TOTALUP $TOTALDOWN [bytes] 

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. 

Thanks for the help. 

Best regards 
Ben
