    Hi Zafer,

     

     

     

    I don't know exactly how do this on a F5 but you could

     

     

    You could use IP::stats (Click here) to get the statistics. The next step would be storage. You could also use the STATS profile (Click here) to store the information but you still need to send it somewhere to report it. That part is more difficult I suspect.

     

     

    A sure proven way which is going to cost you money is to spend $ for a packeteer product or Cisco's NAM II(if you have the right switch or router than can support it). I prefer Cisco NAM II because it's easier it records up to 30 days of data, it can send reports at whatever time you want AND it has a built in sniffer.

     

     

    Hope that helps
