Bandwith count of all users

[Tha_Duck]

Maybe a stupid question, in the Admin section you can show all users. If you do that there is a user admin (of course) which has an huge amount of data traffic.

I am wondering what that traffic is. The website under my admin account is not visited very often so I think it is the backup mechanism. Is this correct?

Just a guess: all the resellers owned by admin?

We do not use resellers, all users are direct under the admin 'reseller' account.

We do not use resellers, all users are direct under the admin 'reseller' account.

In that case, all users under (owned by) admin.

I understand that part, but what does the bandwith amount is telling me

I guess the bandwidth for any domains consumed under admin? Mines currently 32MB, and I don't have any (real) domains under admin.

I split my users in resellers to make it better organised.

Hello,

The usual major use for admin's own personal bandwidth would be ftp transfers of the backups.
If you create backups and send them elsewhere with ftp (through DA's tools), then that is billed to admin.

But it could also be any Domains under the User Level of "admin".

Check the bandwidth breakdown, eg:
http://1.2.3.4:2222/CMD_BANDWIDTH_BREAKDOWN?user=admin

This is the traffic indeed! We are FTP'ing the backup to a remote server for security reasons.

That command is nice, is there a list/overview of that extra commands? It is not possible to see it in DA by default?

Thanks for the answer!

Hello,

The 'other' column is anything that doesn't have a "type", used for extra bits added by non-DA items...
If you have an older /etc/exim.pl, or have plugins added to the bandwidth.tally, then things may show up under "other".

Check:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/bandwidth.tally
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/username/DAdminUsage.bytes

for more specific things in those log files.
The DAdminUsage.bytes is rotated into the bandwidth.tally every day, so the specific entries end up just added into 1 number in the tally line.
