Introduction
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Just a little tool I made to check out the newly published functions in Miami
1.9.3.  Shows number of packets and bytes sent/received and a cps value for
the two interfaces mi0 and lo0.  With v1.1 you can select exactly which
interfaces you want to monitor and the list of interfaces is obtained
directly from Miami so MiamiMonitor should work with whatever new interfaces
Holger Kruse adds to Miami.

Requirements
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · AmigaOS 2.04 or higher
 · MUI 3.6 or higher.
 · Miami 2.0 or higher *registered*.  (The packet monitoring is disabled in
   the unregistered version, nothing I can do about it.)

Features
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · Nice and userfriendly MUI GUI.
 · Locale. Dansk and norsk translation and MiamiMonitor.ct included.

Usage
ŻŻŻŻŻ
Start Miami, then start MiamiMonitor.  You have to quit MiamiMonitor before
Miami will quit.  You may want to create an ARexx script that does this for
you if you use MiamiMonitor on a more permanent basis.

In fact, you don't even have to create a script, you can just enter the
following command as a "Shell" command on the Miami Events configuration
page:

rx "address MIAMIMONITOR.1 quit"

MiamiMonitor does not update the display after each packet sent/received.
That would be far too much overhead.  Instead it waits a configurable number
of seconds between each update.  The default delay is 3 seconds.  You can
change this by changing the value of the REFRESHDELAY tooltype.

To tell MiamiMonitor which interfaces to monitor at startup, change the
INTERFACES tooltype.  Default is to monitor lo0 and mi0 (if they are
available).  If you for example want to monitor mi0 (the PPP/(C)SLIP/etc
interface) only, set the tooltype to INTERFACES=mi0.  Seperate multiple
interfaces with a comma.

Have fun.

Version history
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
MiamiMonitor 1.0 (24.1.97)
 · First release to aminet.

MiamiMonitor 1.1 (30.1.97)
 · Encapsulated all of the monitor code within a MUI class for modularity and
   in preparation of supporting any number of interfaces in future Miamis.
 · Which interfaces to monitor is now completely configurable.  You can set
   the tooltype INTERFACES and you can pick interfaces in a new submenu in
   the Settings menu.  Either way, monitor objects will be dynamically
   created and added to the window.
 · Added a menuitem for resetting the stats.
   (Suggested by Ron Goertz)
 · Added "Current cps" display.  This cps is calculated with the number of
   bytes sent/received and the number of seconds passed since the last update
   of the display. The old cps display is still there and has been renamed to
   "Average cps" - which is what it is. The total number of bytes sent/received
   divided by the number of seconds since the interface monitor hook was
   installed.
   (Suggested by Terry Coles)
 · Resizing the MiamiMonitor window now works better.  It can only be made as
   tall as the text, but still as wide as you like of course.
   (Alexander Wilkens)

MiamiMonitor 1.2 (31.1.97)
 · Now works with and requires Miami 2.0.
 · Bumped the required catalog version to 2, because of the above change.
 · Included Danish catalog translated by Lars Svoldgaard.
