I am having trouble trying to look at an end user and accertain from the DA information exactly what their data transfer has been for a given month.
The short of it is i need to be able to say to a customer,
here is your usage for this month ( And charge them accordingly )
example would be something like this.
Customer 'x' ( domain name = mycompany.com )
email = 20 mb
ftp = 5 mb
web / other = 5 mb
total = 30 mb @ $ 1.00 per mb = $ 30.00
( the amounts and the rate is only an example )
i am only looking for a way of getting the data usage not the accouting stuff. ( i can charge them myself IF i know what they are using )
I ask this because this server costs me in relation to the amount of data being transfered INTO the box ( i pay per mb ) so i need to know what my customers are using so i can charge them.
*************
This is why i have posted this on the forum... ( i have found something that confuses me )
I looked at a domain i set up and looked at its usage ( bandwidth ) it showed at the time , this
Bandwidth - disk Usage - Log Usage
3.02586 - 0.587205 - 0.0620689
Then i sent ( testing ) a 3 mb file to the site via email , sent it, received it back again by email ( all good so far ) then i checked the stats again and no change, ( how often does it update ? )
The whole thing about disk usage is "interesting info" but for me its all about data transfer.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Ron
