Hey

I am looking for a program, that will run in the backround on my dedicated server, and monitor ALL incoming/outgoing bandwith, whether it be bytes, megs, whatever, so i can find out just how much bandwith i send out in an hour, or download etc.

Does anyone know where I can find a program like this?
I want to know how much bandwith my dedicated server would/will/does use up

If someone can help me out that'd be great
:cool:

Generally speaking, the best self-contained solution to this is to combine your operating system's IP firewall/accounting package with MRTG.

Unfortunately I can't really say any more without knowing what operating system you're running.

I believe http://www.bandmin.org/ would work.

a reply to the person earlier who asked what OS i ran

it is linux + redhat 7.0

In that case, you should use ipchains; assuming all you want to do is count bytes, you should have no trouble configuring it properly.
Then, every five minutes, run "ipchains -L" to display current byte counts, run it through a perl or sh script to pull the useful numbers out, and then feed that into MRTG.

tweaked that url didnt work

The main url has been down for quite sometime now. The FTP is still up though. Do a search on the forums here using "bandmin" the FTP was posted in one of those threads. If you cant locate it let me know and I will mail it to you.
