I don't understand what aspect of the port's activity you want to track
- is it the data rate, chip temperature, error rate, or content?
  Different solutions would apply. For content you might consider
  tcpdump or wireshark. I'm most familiar with wireshark so I'd use
  that. There's a thread here you might find informative:
