Wondering when and to where your Android apps are connecting across the Internet? Look no further! Network Log is for you!
Network Log monitors iptables-logging to display a real-time list of which apps are making network connections, and provides statistics about those app connections.
The log tab shows the network packets being transmitted and their details such as:
- source and destination addresses/ports
- network protocol and interface
- bytes transmitted
- timestamp
The applications tab lists installed applications along with network usage statistics such as:
- total packets and bytes sent
- active network throughput speed in Bps/Kbps/Mbps
- timestamp of last connection
- list of all the unique connections made by each app
- sortable and filterable
The statusbar icon's up/down arrows will highlight when upload/download traffic occurs, and the notification drop-down shade displays the connection throughput speed in Kbps.
You can also configure toast pop-up notifications on a per-app basis that will pop-up a temporary notification containing connection details no matter which app you are in.
Click an app in either tab to see time-lines of its connections.
Select the 'Apps Timeline' menu item to see an over-all time-line of all apps.
Adjustable interval from 1 ms to 48 hours for summing data:
- to see each packet, set to 1 ms
- for Kbps, set to 1 second
- for Kb-per-hour, set to 1 hour; etc
Adjustable pinch-zoomable and scrollable graphs.
Requires rooted devices.

Note: While the app itself is designed to use minimal CPU/battery, you can further reduce the CPU/battery use by exiting the app after starting the logging service.
