Bandwidth monitor

[Hiltonizer]

I supposed this isnt directly related to DA... unless someone can tell me there's a plugin for it...

I need something that will tell me the total bandwidth usage of my server

I noticed the one built into DA doesnt work as its should (all nic card traffic, shows only 30gb when ive moved over 100gb in torrents alone)

anything out that that would be good?

You should check out MRTG. It should be able to display all bandwith usage. You can find a guide in this forum at http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=632

Another program to log bandwidth is bandmin. That's what cPanel uses.

Good luck!

Or cacti in case mrtg has a too steep setup curve for anyone..

Yes, MRTG is the best option.

DA will track total usage eventually (at midnight when the tally is run) but that assumes you are doing things from a DA account. If you are initiating all these file transfers from a unix user not associated with a DA account then the tally won't be of any use to you.

You should mention MRTG hosters edition script...
It's an script that counts total bandwidth per day based upon the results MRTG finds with SNMPD. It's perl and PHP, and easy to install, some dutch guy wrote it, can't remember who exactly at the moment.
