 |
|
Hi,
I run gentoo on my VDS server. I get my first 15GB per month (of the larger of incoming/outgoing traffic as opposed to a combination of both) included on my VDS plan. The rest I pay for per GB.
Is there any way I can keep track of my bandwidth usage throughout the month by simply writing the running totals to a log file.... i.e.
| Code: |
Invoice Cycle: November 2005
Outogoing: 17.657GB
Incoming: 5.120GB
|
I could set cron to move the file to a location for safe keeping at the end of the month and have the counters reset ready for logging to a new file.
Is there any apps that can track my bandwidth to files in this fashion? I'm having difficulty knowing how much bandwidth I'm using when I add new client projects to my server.
Bonus if it does that but then offers a breakdown of where the traffic went and times of day etc etc.
Thanks,
d11wtq |

Are you looking at figure out bandwidth usage per domain on an apache server, or just how much bandwidth your server is using... period? If you are investigating MRTG, I would suggest Cacti. It's like MRTG on steroids. It's a PHP graphing application with a database back-end. Once you install it and give it a database, all configuration is done via the web. It rules!
