Beacon v0.4.11-beta

A Network page for live traffic, plus history that records how much data the
host actually moved.

Network

  • New Network page in the sidebar. Remote sockets are drawn on a world map
    at the peer’s city. Click a destination, or this host, to open the matching
    connections.
  • The map overlay shows live receive/send on physical adapters and the process
    with the most remote sockets.
  • The connection list shows process, inferred service (HTTPS, SSH, and other
    well-known ports), direction (in / out), reverse DNS, and traffic. Open a row
    for local and peer addresses, ports, and byte totals.
  • Per-socket byte counters depend on the OS. On Windows, Beacon needs to be
    running elevated. On Linux they come from ss. Service and direction are
    inferred from ports either way.
  • Public peer locations use the same cached ip-api lookup as the activity log.
    Private and local addresses stay on-host and are not sent out.

Usage over time

  • The history recorder now stores byte deltas for physical adapters, not only
    the instantaneous rate. Existing databases gain the new columns on startup.
  • Network includes a usage timeline for 24 hours (hourly), 7 days, or 30
    days (daily). Switch the unit between Auto, KB, MB, and GB.
  • History and the dashboard chart catalog include a Data transferred
    panel for the same totals. Hourly bars are used for ranges up to 48 hours;
    longer ranges use daily bars.
  • Bars stay empty until the recorder has sampled after this upgrade. Rates on
    the existing Network history chart are unchanged.

Disk history

  • Disk charts split read and write per physical disk, with a live rate on each
    row. The Live range follows the system stream the same way CPU and memory do.
