Advanced Network Monitoring

As per our Roadmap, in this release we are focusing on improving the Network monitoring capabilities of Astra Monitor. Here's a list of the new features and improvements:

  • Public IP Address: now you can see your public IPv4/IPv6 address in the Network Menu. This feature requires a remote API call to get the public IP address. We are using ipify as the default provider, which is a free and open source service. You can choose a different provider from the settings panel or disable this feature if you don't want to use it. We support every possible provider, included API created by yourself: the ip address will be matched with a regex to extract it from the response.

  • Default Routes: you can see default routing informations in the Network Menu.

  • Device Info: hovering a network interface will show you a lot more information about it.

  • Wireless Networks: the SSID of the connected wireless network is now visible in the Network Menu along with other useful information.

  • Cumulative Upload/Download Bytes: now you can see the total upload/download bytes since the last boot in the Network Menu for each network interface and globally.

  • Packet Upload/Download: now you can see the total packets uploaded/downloaded since the last boot in the Network Menu for each network interface and globally.

  • Errors/Dropped Packets: now you can see the total error/dropped packets since the last boot in the Network Menu for each network interface and globally.

  • Bridged Network Interfaces: bridged network interfaces are now visible in the Network Menu.

  • VPN Network Interfaces: VPN network interfaces are now marked with a specific icon in the Network Menu.

Bug fixes
