Hello,

Does anyone if this there is a software/script that would track bandwidth (with graph) on each IP/Account?

I mean a thorough detail bandwidth usage showing total bandwidth, bandwidth graph, and transfer rate (like 128k, 256k, 1Mbps, and etc) on per IP/Account basis.

This is for Red Hat Linux 7.1

bandmin.org its only for ftp and mail bandwidth.
The bad thing about it is that it will shows you bandwidth usage daily. It makes logs every day on each IP and shows bandwidth usage, so you have to look at the ip for every day and then add all the numbers.

I guess something is better then nothing.
Do you know of any other software?
I don't mine if it is commercial.

BTW what OS are we talking here?
I am giving you ideas for linux.

MRTG is another software, but I think it monitors the whole bandwidth of the router.

MRTG monitors by switch/route port.

Hello,


The OS is Red Hat Linux 7.1.

MRTG graph is what I am looking for.
However, I couldn't find a software/script that would measure that in per account/ip basis.

I am more interested in finding a script that would measure transfer rate by account/ip. :)

MRTG can measure per IP, if you install an snmpd on your Redhat Linux server and let MRTG use that for measuring (instead of the switch or router).

If you mean user account by "account", then you need to install a special kernel module to track bandwidth by those accounts.

It's also possible to get a report of "how many megabytes did 123.123.123.123 transfer from 1st Jan to 13th March" by using the accounting capabilities of IP-Chains / IP-tables.

Actually it does all.

If you're wanting to track http usage by user/domain, go grab a copy of mod_watch. It saves Apache bandwidth usage by <VirtualHost>'s into a format readable by MRTG.

Great!

Thanks!

One more thing...

Will any of these script have conflict with PLESK?

I'm not a Plesk user, so I can't be sure, but I wouldn't think that they would interfere with Plesk.

on plesk you see the traffic for each accoúnt ! Just cklick on Report you do not need anything else for traffic messure

Anyone know when Plesk updates these Reports as Plesk on my server reported 121 GB after the first week in a month but it still said 121 GB almost two weeks later?

bdraco which file does it store a total amount of bandwidth.
I looked at the files I can only see daily stats.

If you want some thing like this software or hardware to track bandwidth this works great every thing you will every need.

Anybody tried out IP Meter (http://www.ipmeter.com/) before? Couldn't seem to get it working on a previous occasion...
