View Full Version : Total Bandwidth monitoring

I have a nice new server from rackshack, (which so far I've had little problem with and acceptable levels of support when needed).

The question is, does anyone know a way of monitoring bandwidth/traffic usage for the various virtual hosts (name based, not IP based) that will be set up? I've done some research and have not yet found a way other than replacing the control panel (Plesk) with another. Something I'd rather not do.

Plesk itself will list the bandwidth use from apache, but not FTP, Email etc.

I've spent some time looking at MRTG, but I believe this would only work for virtual hosts with their own IP.

Does anyone know of any way or add-on program that could help with this? Something that would perhaps look at the packets and determine which name address they were to, or somesuch?

Thanks,
James
