Outbound traffic

We see from the graphs that the amount of outbound traffic has increased, but we can't see anything in the dashboard that would tell us where this traffic has been going.

Linode does not offer any tools for viewing the outbound traffic, but there are some commands you can run to get a look at your outbound traffic.
First install nethogs, this will show you what process is sending traffic.
sudo apt-get install nethogs
Or if your using CentOs run this command to install.
yum install nethogs -y
After you have nethogs installed you can run the below command on any distribution to start it.
sudo nethogs
tcpdump comes pre-installed, this will show you where the traffic is going.
sudo tcpdump
