Ok is there any easy way to do this Bandwidth Tracking? To tell what site is going over so if we sell plans for 10 gb of bandwidth what is a easy way to keep track of this. Would need ot be Windows Based.

Also is there a software that can show when a server is up down or what every a simple asp script would do.

Thanks.

I was looking for the same thing only unix-based. If you are running appache you can use throttle_mod and the server will monitor bandwidth. It is kind of limited and not exactly what I was looking for but it works. I would actually like something like Alabanza's CP where the server will keep track of bandwidth usage and send out emails warning sites that their limits are getting close, but I have yet to find any script or mod whether is be through apache or a stand alone item.

Wouldnt bandmin @ http://www.bandmin.org do it?

I was giving that link in my search also. However I have not been able to access the site as of yet so I am not sure if it will meet my needs I will keep trying it though.

Thanks..

X-treme... Do you know how to install and configure mond_throttle ???

You could try Webalizer http://www.mrunix.net/webalizer

When it generates its report it gives you the bandwidth use and also a breakdown. Very handy and you can use for each client. Plus its fast and is written in C

Yes, I did install mod_throttle into apache. It is sort of a tricky mod to configure properly though.
I am not sure if you were suggesting me to use that mod or if you were asking for help. It still is not exaclty what I was looking for but it does make my job of bandwidth tracking a little easier.
I will look into webalizer though.

Well i started the post but i left one thing out i think. This is on Windows 2000 with IIS 5.0 so i can't use mod's i was hoping there would be some type of software i could install some how to track of it. I am taking there is not such a thing now.. :) Well i guess i will have stick with the hard way for now..LOL

If anyone knows where i can find a good Control Panel for Windows 2000 please let me know as i have been using Hosting Controler for about 4 months not and that thing is got to be the biggest peace of **** i have every seen. Slow as hell bugs all over it help files ****ed up i can't bleave i even paid for it they should have paid us to take it now..LOL

Thanks for all your help.

Any one have any ideas for Windows 2000 Bandwidth Tracking. Just need to be able to install some thing and it keep track of the bandwidth Per domain and/or IP.

I am not sure if IIS 5.0 logs would work but is there software that could read all the logs on the server and tell how much bandwitch was used?

Hello,

Im not a NT guru, but you might look into 2000's performance monitor or network monitor. This might work, but I don't know if you can set it up to monitor a specific site.

Whatsup gold will monitor your server. It will send email or page you via landline if something goes down...
you can configure it to monitor:

mail
ftp
http
ping time etc...
very configurable...

its expensive but can save a lot of headaches

it does have a trial version available

Cool... WhatsUp Gold 6.0 looks like it can do the job. I will buy it now. $795.00 is not bad if it can do what i need. Going to download the demo and check it out. Thanks for the info.

Before spending nearly $800, you might want to check out Netsaint. It's free... and can do almost everything that What's Up Gold does (and probably a few things that What's Up can't). The only problem is that it usually requires a separate *NIX server to run off of. If you don't have one available to you, What's Up may be your best bet.

Am I missing something here? Can't QWKMON do that, at a much lower price?

We use QWKMON's best plan but more less that lets us know when some thing goes wrong more less and sends e-mails to all the techs cell phones. We need a way to tell how much bandwidth each site is using is what i trying to find a better way to do on NT. I know you can do it on linux but i have not found a easy way todo it on NT yet.

It looks to me like WUG just uses SNMP to monitor bandwidth, so you could substitute MRTG (http://www.mrtg.org) for that.

I think i might be bale to ge tit done with the help of MRTG and whats up gold. Hell i would be happy to pay some one to make a simple PHP, ASP, or cgi script to do just what i need. If you can do it cheeper then 795 bucks let me know but would need to work on NT and be able to give Bandwidth reports for each web site on the server is just what i need. So we can run it once a month and see if any one is over. Would like it to be a com and asp if it could be done.

If some one thinks they could do this e-mail me at info@vortechhosting.com happy to pay for something like this.

I have a question regarding mod_throttle.

Does it only restrict REAL users' bandwidth limits? Or can it also restrict just based on directories? For example, I have /user/john and/user/adam on my site. They are NOT real users on my system. They do all their uploads via my custom ftp/mysql login system.

Also, if I have thousands of users on one system, will mod_throttle be able to handle it?

I agree with Site5-Matt. I have been using netsaint since last Sept. and it works great as far as server notification, port monitoring, etc.

:)

I wrote custom VB software that will log Apache (via samba) and IIS bandwidth used each day into a SQL database. If you would like I can send you snippets of VB code. I cannot provide the whole application as the bandwidth tracking is a small part of the total picuture.

Very fast too, can calculate 15GB of bandwidth in seconds. The IIS log parsing is native. The apache log parsing is done via a CustomLog command.

Would you be willing to make one to do this for me.. I have no idea how to do this with IIS.. I have the Unix side covered but NT i could use some help.. What i need to be able to do.. Is take all the logs for sites. Move them to a folder. Run a script that reads the logs and knows what sites they go with. Then gives a total for each site like a little print out or some thing of there logs. Our logs are changed every day on IIS and we keep them on the server for one month then pull them.

Any way you know we could do this?
