SMB Traffic Analyzer Description

A tool for visualizing data flow on Samba servers SMB traffic analyzer software suite is a toolset aiming at visualizing the data flow on one or more Samba servers, providing statistics about the usage of Samba services. The goal of this project is to become a universal Samba remote debugging utility.A Samba server vfs module (written for Samba 3.2 and newer) captures every read and write process that is done on any or on a specific share. Besides of doing the logging, it acts fully transparent.The module sends it’s data over a socket to stad, a program feeding a SQL database (in this case it’s sqlite) with the data. The user can configure the used socket to be either a unix domain socket (maybe for speed reasons) or a fully networked internet socket. This way, the SQL database and the stad program don’t have to live on the same system as the Samba server.The information that is stored in the database currently consists of the following:· The size of the transfer in bytes· The user who was involved in the transfer· The share that was involved in the transfer· A timestamp, when the transfer was commited on the server· The name of the Domain under which the transfer happenedHaving all the data stored in SQL, you can do all kind of searches and statistics in an easy way. Thus the stad program features listening sockets too, which can be used by clients to make SQL queries over the network.Finally the stadview program, acting as a graphical user interface, makes use of the stad features and queries the database regulary, to provide statistical data about the samba server and even real time views. What's New in This Release: · iniparser is now compiled as a static library and linked to the package. · There are the beginnings of remote control support for clients, a bit more documentation on building stad, and a few fixes for libsta.
