Linux IP monitoring tool

I need to get the IP numbers that are connecting to the EC2 instance then add them to AWS security group as a security group rule. So only those machines will have the permission to connect to instance. I don't need the port number that they're connecting to instance.

I installed iptraf-ng but app is very slow on the instance. Any other suggestions to capture the connecting IP's to instance so I can add them faster to security group rule?

Solution

  • You can use VPC Flow logs to monitor the traffic to the VPC (which will include the traffic that is going to the EC2 instance).
