<para>Shorewall Traffic Accounting support was added in Shorewall release
|
|
1.4.7.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall accounting rules are described in the file
|
|
/etc/shorewall/accounting. By default, the accounting rules are placed in a
|
|
chain called <quote>accounting</quote> and can thus be displayed using
|
|
<quote>shorewall show accounting</quote>. All traffic passing into, out of
|
|
or through the firewall traverses the accounting chain including traffic
|
|
that will later be rejected by interface options such as <quote>tcpflags</quote>
|
|
and <quote>maclist</quote>. If your kernel doesn't support the
|
|
connection tracking match extension (Kernel 2.4.21) then some traffic
|
|
rejected under <quote>norfc1918</quote> will not traverse the accounting
|
|
chain.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The columns in the accounting file are as follows:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">ACTION </emphasis>- What to do when a match
|
|
is found. Possible values are:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>COUNT- Simply count the match and continue trying to match the
|
|
packet with the following accounting rules</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>DONE- Count the match and don't attempt to match any
|
|
following accounting rules.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis><chain></emphasis> - The name of a chain to
|
|
jump to. Shorewall will create the chain automatically. If the name
|
|
of the chain is followed by <quote>:COUNT</quote> then a COUNT rule
|
|
matching this rule will automatically be added to <chain>.
|
|
Chain names must start with a letter, must be composed of letters
|
|
and digits, and may contain underscores (<quote>_</quote>) and
|
|
periods (<quote>.</quote>). Beginning with Shorewall version 1.4.8,
|
|
chain names man also contain embedded dashes (<quote>-</quote>) and
|
|
are not required to start with a letter.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">CHAIN</emphasis> - The name of the chain
|
|
where the accounting rule is to be added. If empty or <quote>-</quote>
|
|
then the <quote>accounting</quote> chain is assumed.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">SOURCE</emphasis> - Packet Source. The name
|
|
of an interface, an address (host or net) or an interface name followed
|
|
by <quote>:</quote> and a host or net address.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">DESTINATION</emphasis> - Packet Destination
|
|
Format the same as the SOURCE column.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">PROTOCOL</emphasis> - A protocol name (from
|
|
<filename>/etc/protocols</filename>) or a protocol number.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">DEST PORT</emphasis> - Destination Port
|
|
number. Service name from <filename>/etc/services</filename> or port
|
|
number. May only be specified if the protocol is TCP or UDP (6 or 17).</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">SOURCE PORT</emphasis>- Source Port number.
|
|
Service name from /etc/services or port number. May only be specified if
|
|
the protocol is TCP or UDP (6 or 17).</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>In all columns except ACTION and CHAIN, the values <quote>-</quote>,<quote>any</quote>
|
|
and <quote>all</quote> are treated as wild-cards.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The accounting rules are evaluated in the Netfilter <quote>filter</quote>
|
|
table. This is the same environment where the <quote>rules</quote> file
|
|
rules are evaluated and in this environment, DNAT has already occurred in
|
|
inbound packets and SNAT has not yet occurred on outbound ones.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Accounting rules are not stateful -- each rule only handles traffic in
|
|
one direction. For example, if eth0 is your internet interface and you have
|
|
a web server in your DMZ connected to eth1 then to count HTTP traffic in
|
|
both directions requires two rules:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting> #ACTION CHAIN SOURCE DESTINATION PROTOCOL DEST SOURCE
|
|
# PORT PORT
|
|
DONE - eth0 eth1 tcp 80
|
|
DONE - eth1 eth0 tcp - 80</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>Associating a counter with a chain allows for nice reporting. For
|
|
example:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting> #ACTION CHAIN SOURCE DESTINATION PROTOCOL DEST SOURCE
|
|
# PORT PORT
|
|
web:COUNT - eth0 eth1 tcp 80
|
|
web:COUNT - eth1 eth0 tcp - 80
|
|
web:COUNT - eth0 eth1 tcp 443
|
|
web:COUNT - eth1 eth0 tcp - 443
|
|
DONE web</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now <quote>shorewall show web</quote> will give you a breakdown of
|
|
your web traffic:</para>
