Ask HN: Simple TCP Monitoring
Dear HN,
since a few good hours I am looking for a solution. I googled everything in all keyword combination but still can't find a very simple TCP monitoring tool, with a REST interface. It seems:
- all comercial offerings are total kitchen sink
- open source variants do not have the REST API, and require CLI or some very 90's style web cluttered interface
Thank you in advance for any hints!

- borplk 10y agoCan you elaborate on the API that you need? To create checks?
- mrits 10y agoYou might want to look at flows instead of packets. Maybe google ipfix or netflow for tools. Unless you are talking about firewall or other settings I don't think REST and packet monitoring would be a good fit.
- chatmasta 10y agoWhat is a "TCP monitoring tool with a REST interface?" Do you want a TCP proxy, or a system telemetry tool to report TCP related metrics? I don't see why you would want to apply REST to a proxy unless you mean using REST to create filtering/interception rules. Using REST for a telemetry tool might be a good solution. If you need packet filtering, there are tons of TCP proxy solutions out there. Maybe try this: https://github.com/ickerwx/tcpproxy https://github.com/ickerwx/tcpproxy If telemetry is what you're after, maybe have a look at OSQuery (https://osquery.io/ https://osquery.io/) from Facebook.
