Steve said they will install mrtg for my server soon.

Before I can use it, I want to know how does it work?
Can it stats bandwidth(data transfer) for each vitual site hosted at my server or it is just for my server?

Thanks in advance.

it will give you total transfer for your entire server and all the ips under it on one graph.

Steve

Thanks, Steve.

May I see a sample stats?

This a free addon?

Technics, according to what I heard and remembered (I am a very forgetful boy) , it is free.

Correct me if I am wrong.

so we all get this?

no, only tera-byte customers :(

thats what i mean...

This cobalt section should be renamed the The UnOffical Tera-byte Cobalt Users Group :)

And Keeg/Steve should be the moderator for this section :p

Heh, well they *do* have their own forum and live chat. I imagine this is just better traveled and (thank goodness) a few people here use the machines and have used them for long enough that they've run into many of the same issues. Thus they can help better than say hired help might be able to (with little workarouds, fixes, etc. that they've done).

they quoted $50 an hour to install this. raylin/steve, is this correct?

Thats what they quoted me todo anywork. Except routine maintenace they didnt charge us for moving our harddrive to another box. Or at least i hope they didnt lol.

why did you need to move your hd to another raq?

we dont charge 50.00 an hour to install mrtg , we also dont currently offer it for 4webspace customers (where most raq's are) those raq's on tera-byte.com plans have it by default. technics hdd was moved to another box to see if the box was causing his reboot problem, it wasnt based on what i saw last night but ill talk to him further about that in email, and no there wasnt a charge for that as we suspected a hardware failure.

Steve

so basically if we want it on our 4ws raq's, we have to do it ourselves?

I could be mistaken, but I thought this was something the host would have to set up (to read usage off the router itself). Ok, I really don't know, but I never thought it was something that could be installed 'yourself'. Light to shed anyone?

MRTG uses SNMP for collecting data, and the RaQ ships with an SNMP daemon, so you simply just have to tell MRTG to poll SNMP data from the server directly (MRTG can manage any SNMP capable device, and people also use it to make all sorts of graphs... like for server load, uptime, temperature, etc). It would be more accurate to measure it at a switch or router though.
