Bandwidth Management Tools

This package comprises of the following tools...

bwm firewall: Used to generate a firewall from an xml configuration file
bwm graph: Used to generate nice graphs from the logfiles created by bwmd
bwm monitor: Live monitoring tool for bwmd
bwmd: Bandwidth management daemon, used to manage flows and log traffic stats
Notes: You need the development libraries and headers for rrdtool. Normally you can download a package called rrdtool-devel for your distribution, install it and everything should be fine.

Alternatively, follow these instructions... 1. Download, uncompress and extract rrdtool-1.x.x to the top BWM Tools directory 2. Symlink it, like this -> ln -s rrdtool-1.x.x rrdtool 3. Re-run ./configure with -> --with-rrdtool-source

For rrdtool-1.2.x you must add the --with-rrdtool2 flag and possibly also the --disable-rrdcgi flag.

When building BWM Tools with the --with-rrdtool-source option, you MUST run configure and make from the top_srcdir, due to a build flaw in rrdtool you CANNOT create a build directory, run ../configure --with-rrdtool-source and think it will work as expected.
If you're building BWM Tools with the --with-rrdtool-source options, and you're using rrdtool 1.2.x you might need to add the --disable-rrdcgi option if the configure complains about cgilib.
Furthermore the rrdtool directory is only built, it is not cleaned when running make clean, nor is it installed when running make install. If you need to run a make command on it, CD into it and do it from there.
