> When started from the main menu and logging is enabled, the IP traffic
monitor prompts you for a log file name. The default name is
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>ip_traffic-<TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>n</I
></TT
>.log (where
<TT
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
><I
>n</I
></TT
></TT
> is what
instance of the traffic monitor this is (1, 2, 3, and so on). (e.g. if
this is the first instance, the default file name will
be <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>ip_traffic-1.log</TT
>.)</P
><P
> When started with the <TT
CLASS="COMPUTEROUTPUT"
>-i</TT
> parameter,
the log filename can be specified with the <TT
CLASS="COMPUTEROUTPUT"
>-L</TT
>
parameter. See the <A
HREF="cmdline.html"
>Command-line Parameters</A
>
section above for more information.</P
><P
>On busy networks, the display may become cluttered with traffic you're not
interested in. To control the traffic monitor's output, you can apply a
<I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>filter</I
>. See Chapter 7, <A
HREF="filters.html"
>Filters</A
> for more information on IPTraf's filters.</P
><P
> At any time, you can press X or Q to return to the main menu (or back to
the shell if the monitor was started with <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>iptraf -i</B
>).</P
