I run a server with lighttpd web server. The server is for file hosting, see the mrtg
[url]
The server is on 1 Gbit shared connection.
The bandwidth seems increase/decrease quickly. Can this happen? I have another file hosting server, on that bandwidth usage is almost sine wave.
Lighttpd web server is running properly and never crashed.
why mrtg screws graphs up if bandwidth usage goes over 120 mbit/sec? See an attachment. First graph from mrtg, second one provider's graph which is correct. In mrtg.cfg I got MaxBytes[_]: 2250000000

View 0 Replies View Relatedhow to configure MRTG so that it displays the 95% usage as well as total amounts of traffic used?
This is what I need - first image on left.
And this is what I have so far after the install: 2nd image on the right.
Also, how do I set the maximum of allowed traffic (to be taken as "maximum" for the percentage calculation)?
My ISP is using MRTG (95th percentile) for my monthly billing. However the numbers showing on my "usage" page aren't adding up. Well, to clarify, the number by which they bill me at is the "Last 30 days usage (Metered 95%): xxxx mb/s". But this number isn't reflecting what I am seeing in the individual Daily/Weekly/Monthly stats and graphs.
Daily:
Max in: 38.0 kb/s
Max out 320.9 kb/s
Avg In: 4216.0 b/s
Avg out 24.1 kb/s
Weekly:
Max In: 1692.4 kb/s
Max Out 5675.1 kb/s
Avg In: 26.9 kb/s
Avg Out 86.8 kb/s
Monthly:
Max In: 3541.9 kb/s
Max Out 5635.4 kb/s
Avg In: 298.4 kb/s
Avg Out 410.4 kb/s
Last 30 Days uaage (Metered 95%): 4518.43 kb/s
Now for two weeks my server was pushing nearly 10 mb/s (95th percentile only use the HIGHER of the In OR Out as its measurement)- and then for the next 10 days my server has barely pushed 100 kb/s. 10 days ago the "Last 30 days usage" number was 4480.1 mb/s, but today, 10 days later, the "LAst 30 days usage" is 4518.4 kb/s. My ISP tells me that "last 30 days uage" is calculated every 5 minutes. But if my usage 10 days ago was 4480kb/s and my server has barely pushed ANY bandwidth since, shouldn't the laws of averages see that number steadily declining?
As an example: If I pushed exactly 10mb/s for exactly two weeks, then pushed 0mb/s for the next two weeks....then the average mb/s for a 30 day period (not calculating 95th %) would be 5mb/s. And as the 3rd week started, I would steadily see the 30 day usage start to decline and eventually reach 5mb/s on the last day of the 30 period. This is a logical, and my approach, to understanding this - yet the numbers aren't indicating this.
Anybody here is hosting their server at equinix datacenters?
how are their services?
i am currently hosting mine there though not long..
anyone knoe their charges if i want to increase my bandwidth allowance?
In your professional opinion, does a simple shared account with 20+ gigs of bandwidth have enough to handle a website that, for a week out of a month, might hit about 5 or so thousand visits (to a single web page with mysql connection) per hour?
The traffic wouldn't last at that rate for more than a few days. but I want to make sure even a basic good web host with a shared account can handle this. Or is a must that I hit a dedicated server?
Linux, bsaic dual intel set-up like any other seems to be what I will have. Not sure about ram, but I am on a reseller account and the only one that will have real traffic.
Do you get a warning mail before you are about to cross your bundled data transfer limit?
I read in some post that it is user's responsibility to monitor bandwidth usage... But i think client has the right to know before he is about to consume his bandwidth limit...
probably alerts like.. you have consumed 80%/90%/95%/98%/99% of ur bandwidth limit.. Isn't it fair to expect this?
bandwidth monitoring software to calculate bandwidth usage with billing futures.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.)
We're not the Influxis host and also not affiliated with the host.
We wanted to get affiliated with this host but they don't have an affilate program.
We're currently hosting applications used from videowhisper com , videochat-software com (not the websites, just flash server applications) and also for multiple customers.
One of our applications generated today 18Gb of traffic on Influxis for about 100 connections!
The interesting part is that another copy of it used for our main demos generated 0.25Gb for 350 connections (as it usually does).
And the most important part is that the person running and testing that application from soberfolk org contacted us that video streaming was not working at all for it - and we had to restart VHost to get things back to normal. It was returning an error about bad stream name in flash debugger.
So video streaming was not working and it used hundreds of times more than it usually does.
Very weird.. we contacted them. We'll keep you updated about this.
We mention that the software we use has ghost detection routines that close connections occurring when users abruptly disconnect from FMS servers.
Did any of you get any huge bandwidth usage on FMS hosts due to ghosts or other errors?
I don't know if this website exists but... is there a website that shows Global Bandwidth usage to the world?

View 14 Replies View RelatedSitemeter is telling me the site gets an average of 38000 page views a day.
The web host is telling us we're using 51gb of bandwidth a day on average.
This is not a video site, or a download site. This is an article site, with jpg images. Our biggest page has about 2.4 meg of images on it. The average page is about 1.34 mb's, counting the navigation images which repeat on every page.
But don't user's browsers cache anything?
Is that bandwidth usage normal?

I have come across many hosting providers recently who sell shoutcast servers with a set amount of bandwidth. e.g. their plan would be 100 slots, 128kbps with 100GB bandwidth/month.
I was wondering how they are able to monitor the bandwidth usage of a single shoutcast server and enforce a limit?
I have an increase in bandwidth for one of my site.
Usually, it average around 6 or 7 gigs per month. This month im almost at 10 gig. In awstats, it report that a spcific ip have used 3.49 GB alone and as 128668 pages view and 128668 hits. Last access was 18th of may.
I have done a IP whois, and it appears that this IP belongs to [url], which is an ISP.
Now, im thinking of all types of things. Is my account serving files for someone? hack?
I have a small linux box that I use as a router (CentOS 4.4 on OpenVZ).
I have quite a few clients connecting to it and using it as a gateway.
I would like to monitor their bandwidth usage if possible, I have iptables installed and am using iptables -L -v -n, which shows me the data transferred on specific ports that I am forwarding to them.
So, is there an bit of software out there that will monitor each IP for all UDP and TCP traffic, and wont be lost if I restart iptables.
I have looked at Cacti, but have never managed to get it to work...?
is it possible to find which user or IP address using the most of the bandwidth, and is there a tool to monitor the bandwidth activity on the server?
Thank you,
I am wondering Site like Megavideo How much Bandwidth they use Every Month ?
Let's say you want Open site like Megavideo OK , What is your plan for this site ?
What is the least amount to start with site like this ?
What kind of servers you will choose ?
What is your plan for Bandwidth ?
What Provider you will choose ?
For research can someone tell me what is the average transfer ratio for a game server (ie Inbound vs Outbound)
So if a game server used 200GB outbound. How much Inbound would this equate to?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI run 10+ sites on my dedicated server.In last 7 days one of them used over 1.7 TB of bandwidth.
I can't suspend that domain because it's mine.
I can't ban the IP of those who use considerable amount of bandwidth because they are a lot.
So i think about software/mod/whatever else that limit bandwidth usage per user(IP) per day! is there any one who has experience about this situation?
I'm about to move 31 machines into a 42U full cabinet
Previously I was on an uncapped bandwidth provider but we had a lot of problems with them so I decided to find a new provider who charges bandwidth by mbps
I do not have mrtg installed or managed switches, but I may start with 10mbps.
But I'm just curious, what takes a full cabinet with more than 30 machines does the total bandwidth takes you.
Perhaps any colo provider here don't mind to share their stats.
I have a site that has become very popular and I feel that I will soon outgrow my hosting plan. The site uses sub-domains in a fashion similar to About.com. In other words, I have different sites under the umbrella of the main domain. How does a site like About handle this issue? Forgive me if this is an uneducated question, but, since I can't host the sub-domains under different accounts and relieve some of the bandwidth burden how do I handle the bandwidth issue? It's not like I can have one account dedicated to one sub-domain and another to the other sub-domain or can I? Also, can anyone recommend a good hosting plan for popular sites? I have 60gb of transfer right now, but I want to explore other options while there is still time.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor the past few days, one of the server is causing a bandwidth utilization surge for the entire rack on almost daily basis. It happen for a few minutes and it went off then it will be the same thing again the next day. When the surge is happening, most of the servers on the same segment will be inaccessible for the few minutes.
The bandwidth utilization graph for my rack is recording an abnormal surge from (6mbps --> 90mbps) for the few minutes. My MRTG is showing 2 of the Plesk servers giving the problem but the NOC guys said it the Cpanel that causing the problem.
I tried logging in to both servers but could not find what's the cause for this.
Anyone know how much is true stats that we get in "main" server cPanel in menu:
Main >> Account Information >> View Bandwidth Usage
Is that correct data or? and can be difference of 500Gig?
I get bill for 500gig over, than stat in cPanel?
Is it possible that stats in cPanel dont say correct data? and to be that much difference?
