 | View Full Version : bandwidth... pinPoint 08-30-2004, 12:06 AM i just email my dedi provider and asked how much bandwidth I have used or whether they have a tool to check and the told me no and bandwidth measurements have to be done by me since its 1MBps transfer. how can I have a bandwidth monitor installed? im using freebsd and apache is installed. OCXBIOS 08-30-2004, 12:21 AM MRTG google it =] JHServers 08-30-2004, 01:17 AM Could try Bandmin. Or getting a free or paid control panel. cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin are a few of the popular ones. PogiWeb 08-30-2004, 01:22 AM Yeah I would have to agree with rainetech just a free or paid cpanel grassroots 08-30-2004, 01:23 AM my vote goes to mrtg. KarlZimmer 08-30-2004, 03:49 AM MRTG is a simple and effective method for monitoring bandwidth usage, surprised your provider isn't providing that. IRCCo Jeff 08-30-2004, 05:37 AM I prefer ipfm (diffrent than ipfw ;) ) for BSD. TheServerExperts 08-30-2004, 05:45 AM Just in case you dont know the url here's a mirror: http://mrtg.hdl.com/mrtg.html and the UNIX MRTG Installation Guide : http://mrtg.hdl.com/unix-guide.html enjoy! ;) pinPoint 09-02-2004, 02:28 PM thanks for all your help. i will look into it. pinPoint 09-06-2004, 10:12 PM on second thought. all those who said MRTG really should have checked what I asked for. I specifically asked for a bandwidth monitor not a traffic analyser. I mean i spent a freaking day to get this prog to work on my bsd box. please next time ready carefully and just dont read and answer for the sake of answering. answer with a valid answer. damn! im pissed all this time i spent throughout the day and nothing of what I wanted. Ww333 09-06-2004, 10:17 PM well describe what your looking for better next time. Are you looking for an exact number instead of the graphs? pizzaboy_au 09-06-2004, 10:23 PM Obviously pinPoint you did not read the documentation in regards to what MRTG does. Also, do not blame people who are just trying to help you. If you where more specific in regards to bandwidth monitioring we might of been able to assist you more. f0urtyfive 09-06-2004, 10:54 PM * Didnt know their was a difference between a "Bandwidth Monitor" and a "Traffic Analyser"* Which one do you want? robgct 09-06-2004, 11:17 PM im looking for something simple too, i just want something to tell me how much gb is used per day / per week and per month and it doesnt have to be a graph. :bawling: Erich 09-06-2004, 11:40 PM You should tell the host to give you a link to an official mrtg graph for your server, one taking the traffic at the router level IRCCo Jeff 09-07-2004, 02:26 AM Originally posted by f0urtyfive * Didnt know their was a difference between a "Bandwidth Monitor" and a "Traffic Analyser"* Which one do you want?
