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?
how can i create directories in my (public_html / htdocs folder) that have disk space and traffic quota?
i activated the disk quota to the native linux file system and i tried to create a user but i could not put this user in any folder in the public_html (i dont know how to do this) also there is no option to create bandwidth quota..
one more detail is that the folders need to be protected with login and password because people may try to enter this folders (e.g. www.mydomain.com/protectedfolder)
all this using webmin or another free good script.
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 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...
im trying to find a good solution for centralized syslog managmenet and analysis. Basically im sick of reading all those logwatch mails
Is there anyone that could point me to the 'Best' solution to go with?.
It should run on a linux server, vmware appliance will do as well. If there is no linux solution - which i doubt - than i will also consider having a windows solution.
I looked at ManageEngine Eventlog Analyzer which is kinda what im looking for - but the pricing is not what i expected.
Its more than ok if it is a paid solution you are offering or pointing to!
Windows has a variety of items that it logs locally, logins, security alerts, etc, etc. Is there a software solution that can take computer level activity i.e. logins, security alerts, etc, etc and log it to a local or remote syslog server?
I've just bought a VPS with [url], and they only offer cPanel (of which costs extra money per month). so I decided to install Webmin, which I have never used before.
how I set up my DNS servers in Webmin? I'm completely lost here.
with webmin can I use it to add FTP users to say pure ftpd? and does it work with lighttpd? If I'm thinking about it right webmin just allows us to control the service and modify the configuration files right?
I want to use whmcs with webmin as its a free utility. though i am not getting how to setup a cron job and email piping on the same. I have tried using php -q /var/www/pipe/pipe.php in my scheduled cron jobs in webmin. But it everytime results in an error. Also i have tried using /usr/local/bin/php -q /var/www/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php . But still shows error.
I started using some dedicated server and I have Webmin as control panel. There is also Apache that I turned on and it worked.
But since I didn't find anything to access server via ftp, I searched on net and understood that I need to install some module for it on Webmin.
In list of inactive modules I found Proftpd and install it. And then I made problem: somewhere in Webmin where is administration of users I edited user "ftp" since when logging I went to directory /var/ftp and I wanted to go to /var/www/html.
But when I changed accessing directory from /var/ftp to /var/www/html it didn't work so I again moved to /var/ftp. After that I again couldn't access but noticed in file manager under Webmin that content of /var/www was moved to /var/ftp and previous content of /var/ftp disappeared. I created new directory www in /var and copied in file manager content from /var/ftp but again when access from public address I receive error 403 forbidden. I rebooted system but again same.
I recently purchased a VPS and was wondering which control panel I should ask my provider to install. Both are free, but I was wondering which one you guys preferred?
Also, which one uses less system resources (like RAM, etc)?
I have changed my nameservers at the domain registrar but when using the serverbeach DNS tool to use the serverbeach DNS service , its asks me for the IP of my domainname.
How do I find in webmin the IP address of the domain to be entered
