#7 Feature Request: Preset Filters

Mihai Varzaru — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 19:39:58 -0000

It can be implemented as a list of predefined filters that the user can edit. I may consider this or a similar feature after 0.7

#6 Feature Request: Context Menu Run Command

Mihai Varzaru — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 19:08:31 -0000

This is an interesting feature. However, a proper implementation is more involved. I may consider it after 0.7 .

Feature Request: Preset Filters

Peter Ring — Sat, 14 Mar 2015 00:37:07 -0000

Again, my compliments for this useful tool!

Feature Summary:
Either add a way to save/load previous filters OR allow a cli parameter to load them from a file or directly from the cli.

Detail:
I find myself using the same filter on a regular basis. While a way to save,load and manage multiple filter presets would be useful, at least a way to have a default or to load it from the command line would be a useful addition. I have to think that I am not the only user that immediately filters out most of my local LAN stuff first thing every time I start the program...

Feature Request: Context Menu Run Command

Peter Ring — Sat, 14 Mar 2015 00:20:21 -0000

Firstly, compliments for this useful tool! Would love to see future linux distros start including it...

Feature Summary:
Add item(s) to Context Menu to execute external program/script commands and pass the clicked on variable in the command line.

Detail:
Creating scripts to do things like block an IP at the firewall, kill an application or enter an alternate route in the routing table are all pretty straight forward, but a bit tedious to use at the cli, Creating a Run Command option for the context menu would allow users to implement an infinite number of features without adding significant overhead to the netactview's memory footprint, yet it would extend it's capability and usefulness exponentially.

I would suggest implementing this as simply as possible by using an external text.conf file to allow users to edit the command(s) themselves, rather than any sort GUI additions, thus keeping the program changes to netactview's source as minimal as possible. By default, enter a single example that opens a text file explaining syntax and variable(s) that can be passed. It really only needs to two string values, the Title and Command.

#5 kill feature

Mihai Varzaru — Thu, 29 May 2014 11:57:16 -0000

A closer integration with a set of system utilities may be included in a future release. It is a low priority for the moment. I prefer to keep netactview as simple and focused as possible.

kill feature

Firstly, my best compliments for this useful tool!
Secondly...It would be nice to have a "kill selected process" botton :-)

Filter feature options

Anonymous — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 11:21:07 -0000

It would be very nice if the Filter feature could use regular expressions, or if some other options to negate (not include) the string in the filter dialog.

use case:

scenario:
300+ total connections
~300 of them transmission (or other torrent client)
filter: not trasmission'
output: all rows not including transmission
similar to output of
netstat -putan | grep -v transmission

Net Activity Viewer for cli

nice program mihaivzr,
you can have the output interface text?
It would be more usable with the control programs and
batch. An option to not see the path of command

Per connection traffic rate

bryonak — Wed, 20 May 2009 11:53:47 -0000

Sometimes, viewing the traffic rate of a single connection (in addition to the total, which is shown at the bottom) would be very handy.
Either as another column titled IN/OUT that shows the KB/s, or something more fancy with bars like iftop: http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/iftop/

Close a connection

bryonak — Wed, 20 May 2009 11:49:58 -0000

I'd like to be able to close connections by right clicking on a line -> "Close connection", below/above the "Copy... " entries.
TCPView offers such a functionality, but it's Windows only: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx

Would this be feasible with NetActView?
