Hello Patrick I personally use ipfm (http://freshmeat.net/projects/ipfm/) to do the traffic logging, and then I got a home brewed perl script running in cron every 5 min. to parse the accumulated data and create/update a RRD (http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/) base for each host. When you got the RRD bases you can output a nice graph on-the-fly from you webserver or run the graphing procedure from cron. If you like I could send you the ipfm config and the perl script. There might be other "projects" to look at, like ntop and etc. Try searching for it on freshmeat.net. Note: This solution is primarily for general host traffic accumulation based on a subnet. The stats are collected via libpcap and can be done in promiscuous mode. This is not for website stats, for that you need to parse your webserver log files. But I guess you already know that.
