Hi,

this morning outgoing traffic for my server went from 700 kbit to about 2500 kbit in a short while and has stayed at that level for over 12 hours now. It's no ftp traffic, i checked the xferlog, and it's not mail or something, so it has to be httpd traffic.

Now i want to know what site is causing this, but access_logs are split. Is there an easy way to find out what site is causing this traffic, and as a result a major load on je server.

Thanks

uncomment ExtendedStatus from httpd.conf restart apache, and point yourself to www.yourdomain.com/server-status

<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from all (replace all with your own IP if desired)
</Location>

Thanks, this has been a great help. I could identify the site that caused the trouble.
