Android Network Log Monitor

Requires rooted devices.

Wondering when and to where your Android apps are connecting across the Internet? Look no further! Network Log is for you!

Network Log monitors iptables-logging to display a real-time list of which apps are making network connections, and provides statistics about those app connections.

Real-time log display

The log tab shows the network packets being transmitted and their details such as:

• source and destination addresses/ports
• network protocol and interface
• bytes transmitted
• timestamp

Real-time network usage statistics

The applications tab lists installed applications along with network usage statistics such as:

• total packets and bytes sent
• active network throughput speed in Bps/Kbps/Mbps
• timestamp of last connection
• list of all the unique connections made by each app
• sortable and filterable

Real-time connection notifications

The statusbar icon's up/down arrows will highlight when upload/download traffic occurs, and the notification drop-down shade displays the connection throughput speed in Kbps.

You can also configure toast pop-up notifications on a per-app basis that will pop-up a temporary notification containing connection details no matter which app you are in.

Graphs

Click an app in either tab to see time-lines of its connections.

Select the 'Apps Timeline' menu item to see an over-all time-line of all apps.

Adjustable interval from 1 ms to 48 hours for summing data:

• to see each packet, set to 1 ms
• for Kbps, set to 1 second
• for Kb-per-hour, set to 1 hour; etc

Adjustable pinch-zoomable and scrollable graphs.

Requires rooted devices.

Note: While the app itself is designed to use minimal CPU/battery, you can further reduce the CPU/battery use by exiting the app after starting the logging service.
