Instances and Logging</A ></H1 ><P > IPTraf-ng allows multiple instances of the facilities at the same time in different processes (for example, you can run two or more IP Traffic Monitors at the same time). However only one can listen on a specific interface or all interfaces at once. The only exception is the general interface statistics, which is still restricted to only one instance at a time.</P ><P > Because of this, each instance now generates log files with unique names for instances, depending on either their instance or the interface they're listening on. If the <SPAN CLASS="emphasis" ><I CLASS="EMPHASIS" >Logging</I ></SPAN > option is turned on (see the <A HREF="c1793.html" >Configuration</A > chapter), IPTraf-ng will prompt you for a log file name while presenting a default. You may accept this default or change it. Press Enter to accept, or Ctrl+X to cancel. Canceling will turn logging off for that particular session.</P ><P > If you don't specify an absolute path, the log file will be placed in:</P ><P ><TT CLASS="FILENAME" >/var/log/iptraf-ng</TT >.</P ><DIV CLASS="FIGURE" ><A NAME="AEN313" ></A ><P ><B >Figure 2-1.
