Hello, all.

I recently moved a server into my company's co-location closet, and they are planning on charging me $x/GB of bandwidth/month. My server is running Apache2, and using virtualhosts to host multiple websites. I am looking for a way to monitor the bandwidth of the box in it's entirety, and of each individual virtualhost - does anyone know of a way to do this? I need to monitor both the incoming and outgoing bandwidth, not just the outgoing(so something like awstats won't work).

Thanks,
Girasquid

I run Munin on the DIC servers and it graphs the network interface usage:

Cool, I didn't know that monitored more than just web traffic. I like the name, it would be amusing if they made a Hugin that was intrusion detection or something; no such luck.

Munin looks pretty interesting, and I'll have to take a look at it.

At the core of it, what I'm looking for is a setup that will show me the overall bandwidth used by the box in it's entirety - and then have breakdowns based on which virtualhost used what.

Is this a Windows server?

At my work we run Paessler Router Traffic Grapher (otherwise known as PRTG Traffic Grapher) to monitor our fiber circuits.

You can check that out at http://www.paessler.com/prtg

Sorry, this is a Ubuntu server.

I've settled on using awstats to parse the Apache access logs, and the ProFTPd logs, to give me an estimate on the total bandwidth used.
