ABOUT

torwatch is a script to visualize the traffic of a tor node. it is written in lua
and uses the GD graphics library to draw the graphs. toewatch 0.1 was written
over a pint of lager in october 2010, so please do not blame the author if you
find it incomplete, buggy or useless.

i could not come up with a better name yet, if yoy have a brilliant idea, let me know.

torwatch is released unter the GNU Public Licence v3.


USAGE

    * get the tarzip here http://projects.plentyfact.org/projects/list_files/torwatch

    * dependencies: you will need lua, lua-gd and depending libraries
      ( lua-gd can be found at http://lua-gd.luaforge.net , however a compiled version of the lua module is currently
      included in the tarzip to make things easier, lua-gd is not considered part of torwatch and is released under MIT license )

    * unpack the tarzip

    * open the torwatch script and adjust the settings ( CONF ) according to your needs.
      ( web directory, filename, path to your tor state file )
      in the 0.1 version it it best to leave the default graph settings ;)

    * run ./torwatch

    * the graph images and one html file should now have been created in your web_dir

    * you might want to run torwatch via cron
