Hi all,

I would like to know can MRTG shows the actual gigs used by a server?

Becasue what I see is it only shows max in, out and average in, out. It didn't caluate the actual gigs transfer for a sever.

Is it possible?

No, but there are add-ons that will do so.

I've found it just as easy to use the average in and average out. Assuming you're using kbytes, add them together and multiply by 2.592 to get total monthly usage.

Why multiply by 2.592? How they caluate the average in and average out?

2.592 converts the average kbytes/s into GB/mo.

It's kB/s * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 30 days / 1000KB per MB / 1000MB per GB

Which converts to 2.592
