I have a few boxes on a special setup in a rack that I want to monitor bandwidth usage on for a while. There really isn't a way at the moment to do it switch level. Some of the servers have cPanel, some are just straight Linux (CentOS). I have seen where you can setup iptables to measure/monitor bandwidth, any other easy and effective suggestions for doing this?
Give me 1000GB or 2000GB and that's my limit that I'll try and not go over. Pretty simple.
However, I'm now dealing with a provider that has me really confused. This company is charging us based on 95th percentile and we're now being asked to commit to 8.5 MBPS while the server doesn't even go over 1500GB monthly bandwidth limit.
Is this correct:
- We're not using tons of bandwidth but we do have large bursts
- The company is ultimately charging you for the bursts
I have 1 network interface with a few virtual ones. I need to find a way to monitor bandwidth. I've tried vnstat but it can't measure bandwidth with virtual interfaces.
The only thing i've seen is through packet sniffing and i was hoping for a much cheaper alternative(cpu wise).
Does anyone know if it is possible to monitor bandwidth for individual virtual environments within Hyper-V? I'm looking for an economical way of doing this, not through System Center. we're looking to provision a few Windows virtual environments over the next few weeks and want to see if there is an alternative to Parallels Virtuozzo.
as far as i know cacti is the only script that can provide logs of the bandwidth consuming per month. I need to know how much bandwidth my server consumeto avoid overage fees.
But cacti got php function that is reuired to be enabledand its pontentional dangerou to renable some php functions, so i prefer script that is more cgi or any safer script
I have a small VPS that is running only openVPN. (No http/pop/ftp/imap/smtp...) Only one port is open for the openVPN software.
I've also disabled (not running) any other networking software, so there is no apache or anything "normal" like that.
It's a plain-jane CentOS 5.3 install, used only for openVPN.
The problem is that I have no idea how much bandwidth is being used.
Since the openVPN does not track bandwidth usage, I am now looking for some other way to do it...
I am thinking that perhaps munin or cacti or something like that would be a solution?
Basically, the only statistic I need to actually monitor is bandwidth, as I don't care about disk space, load, memory, or anything else..
(The server is using VirtualVM, but since that software is insecure... the VPS control panel is not currently online, so all the normal "tools" that the VPS came with are not working.)
I installed syslog-ng in hopes that i could change this behaviour but to no avail. the real problem i see is that shorewall/iptables only logs to "kern" facility...
has anyone found a way arround this? maybe even using some other firewall?
I am not too used to working with having to monitoring bandwidth through windows itself, but the provider doesn't provide graphs from the switch.
I tried installing MRTG on windows but got tired after trying for two hours. I really just need a program that can monitor the bandwidth and calculate the 95% usage but I cannot seem to find that anywhere!
This one should be easy for all the dedicated experts here in WHT. I have a dedicated server that I use for streaming and would like to monitor how much bandwidth I use (on a daily basis).
Windows Media Services would be the application that uses considerable bandwidth. So may be a plug in for that? I am looking for something free.
What's the best solution web-based that I can install on a server to monitor a group of servers, services, bandwidth etc.. I'm thinking of offering a service where for a monthly price we'll monitor your server(s) and notify the data center or client of outages. So I'm looking for something that I can create clients then under them enter servers and items to monitor. Kinda like a NOC monitoring solution?
I currently use debian and have multiple (5+) ip address all assigned for a different purpose and usage. My issue is that i need the ability to accurately monitor the traffic being generated (and potentially graph via mrtg) additionally, I want the ability to enforce priority and restrictions per ip address.
Whilst on the subject I also have an openvpn setup which i want the ability to rate limit each user....
spend too much time trying to figure this out so now i'm asking for some help! More than happy to consider offers ($) for someone to do it for me...
I've been carrying some weird hours lately, so I'm able to see activity on my sites that I normally don't see.
Certain IPs are trying to diddle their things into my server and need the boot. It's not consistent (ie not happening every 5, 10 mins)... it's periodically throughout the months. I'll see an IP I blocked 2 months ago just randomly show up at 4:30am and try accessing the same files it was probing during it's last visit. Assuming this is just some sort of bot, can I block it permanently?
I know APF has a collection system that purges an IP list to keep it from bloating, and I had PSM do some hardening so I'm not entirely sure about the workings of APF firewall. So far my IP blocks are blank (which is a good sign!), but I'd like to add some nuisances to it, to keep their crap from appearing in my error logs anymore as "Denied by Server Configuration"
My question is: Can I block people at server level permanently? I do not want their IP being taken out with the purge list that comes by every so often.
I am hosting about 12 TYPO3 websites in a shared hosting environment, but I need to think about upgrading to a faster (dedicated) server as some of the sites have a higher traffic volume.
I am not a pro and use Linux only as a user. How dificult is it to manage a root server? Is all done via an easy Control Panel or do I need expert knowledge to install software etc?
Or shoud I look for a managed server where all is done for me?
Rather than just tagging the subject with ***SPAM***. Am I going to have to recompile spam assassin in order to get that working? I have a client of mine who wants all spam just removed before it hits his inbox. Is there a setting somewhere in cpanel that I am missing for this? Possible just to apply it to one domain name?
Which virtualization technology is better? Hardware level or software level? My friend suggested me to go for software level virtualization. However, I am still concerned about the technology as to which I should choose?

been using webserverguard.com to monitor my server which has been great because its free. Thinking of upgrading to a paid service and wondered what the good cheap options were?
how can i find out who is using up all the resources of 1 of my server, i am running CENTOS Enterprise 5.2 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0, i have around 180 web site currently on this server and i would like to move my customer how need more power.
or limit my customers to 10% of the server resources for no longer than 10min.
