How can I monitor my network traffic?

Linode Staff

I received an inbound traffic network notification for my server. How can I check and monitor this activity?

I would look into using a network monitoring service for your server. There also are some network monitoring commands that you can run. The following links provides some options that you can consider using for your server.

You can also modify the threshold setting for your server. The initial setting is our default setting and can be changed to accommodate your needs, if the network traffic is expected for your server.
