Hogwatch is a bandwidth monitor that shows per-process network transfer using nethogs data plotted in a web-based GUI. It is a Python 2.7 application that runs a light web server or webview window to display real-time charts of which processes are consuming the internet connection.

Use cases

  • find out which process is hogging my internet connection
  • monitor per-application bandwidth usage
  • see network transfer speed per process in a GUI
  • visualize real-time network traffic charts
  • identify what is using my bandwidth

When to choose

  • you want a quick visual graph of per-process network usage on Linux or macOS
  • you already use nethogs and want a GUI on top of it
  • you need a one-off snapshot of what is consuming bandwidth

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained tool - the project is explicitly unmaintained
  • you need long-running monitoring - the process list grows and slows the UI
  • you need per-device filtering, history across restarts, or PID/user details
  • you are on Windows or need Python 3 support
