I have seen several monitoring tools related to monitoring traffic between greengrass and AWS but none yet that really do the job of helping me understand data usage?

Hi, on rpi, it's possible to use Wireshark to capture packets https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/AppToolstcpdump.html.

We need some more information to understand what's going on with the traffic.

  1. What time period did you notice the high data charges?
  2. Are you comfortable with sharing the deployment document?
  3. What are the target components of your deployment?

The carrier really doesnt get specific -- its just a large monthly charge :)

So, I'm wondering how to sort of 'profile' what is going on or whether greengrass has some way or report to help tell me the size of all data travelling back and forth to validate the carrier charge?

So I am experimenting with Wireshark. So far no real luck -- I'm surprised no one else has run into this. We use GG on RPi with a mobile cell dongle.
