GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 506390
feature request: display per process network usage/permissions
Last modified: 2018-05-22 12:03:42 UTC
A couple of ideas i thought worth consideration. Firstly, a simple up/down display of internet usage on a per process basis. So if you have a number of applications accessing the internet, you can see how often they are downloading uploading data, and what percentage of your download/upload speed they are attaining. Could also be useful to detect suspicious activity on the network and associate it with an app or process. A quick mock-up i made a while back: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=47683&stc=1&d=1193265442 Moreover, is their such a thing as networking 'nice'? Could processes have bandwidth caps/priorities imposed from within g-s-m? Furthermore, something like a simple firewall or at least a way to permit/deny nwetwork connections for apps/processes could be a good thing for g-s-m to incorporate. Seems like a logical place at least to include this function. maybe such a feature-set could live in its own tab within g-s-m, say, 'network activity' or 'network access'? In summary could some sort of simple firewall capacity be built into g-s-m? Would this be appropriate?

No.

(In reply to comment #1) > AFAIK, there's no way to get this information nethogs does it. iotop does the equivalent for hard drive access. Process Explorer for Windows does all of these things. It would be nice if we had an equivalent in Linux world. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx > Requires login. http://i44.tinypic.com/jzcnkw.png
[Adding missing "QA Contact" entry so system monitor bug report changes can still be watched via the "Users to watch" list on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email when the assignee is changed to an individual.]
