Is there anything that allows me to monitor network usage by process for longer time (1 day +-). I know nethogs but it only shows current process and I need longer period to be monitored and probably logged to some file.

Also found vnstat to be nice, but only monitors total network usage...

And slurm is sexy for total bandwidth on an interface.

    iftop will crash if left open for too long, just thought I'd mention that. I had issues with wireshark crashing when left open too long also.

iptables can monitor network usage by port. assuming your application only uses a certain port, then this is a possibility

A quick google found this - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-configuring-ip-traffic-accounting/

That should give you a pointer at least
