Monitoring Bandwidth Usage For VPS
Jun 16, 2009
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 have a Sonicwall NSA 3500. Does anyone know if you can use it to create bandwidth charts of Network Objects (e.g. IPs or Groups of IPs)?
I am thinking something like Cacti, but I don't know the code to pull that info or if it's even technically possible.

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).

I'm trying to write an article about webhosting. I've completed most of the article but there are some points I still can't figure out.
a) I'm actually confused about this: is limiting of cpu usage the same as limiting cpu cycles or even cpu throttling? I see these terms mentioned everywhere but they're all quite confusing.
b) And also, where can I find good sites for tracking webhost uptime and with some comprehensive data? I've only found this comprehensive site so far but have failed to find any others: [url]
And any other sites I found have been mediocre.

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 been using webmin's bandwidth monitoring function for a while but (as anyone who's ever used it) i have a few issues:
3 huge (~250MB and growing) log files: /var/log/bandwidth, kern.log and syslog.
also the 'dmesg' only outputs these log messages:
BANDWIDTH_IN:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:16:3e:00:00:c6:00:0c:db:0d:e2:4c:08:00 SRC=89.181.46.133 DST=83.246.72.186 LEN=92 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=116 ID=36035 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=4399 DPT=22 WINDOW=64711 RES=0x00 ACK PSH URGP=0
BANDWIDTH_OUT:IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=83.246.72.186 DST=89.181.46.133 LEN=92 TOS=0x10 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=42455 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=22 DPT=4399 WINDOW=10720 RES=0x00 ACK PSH URGP=0
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?

It is possible to monitor bandwidth per IP instead of per port using Cacti?
I have been told no, but if no, how can you possibly monitor bandwidth per VPS on a host server?

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!

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?

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...

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?

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?

For india overall, is bandwidth mostly inbound or outbound?
In other words, is there more data (via internet) coming out of the country or into the country?
Link to stats preferably.

Sitemeter 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...?
