RE: Bandwidth Monitoring

["Jeremy Choy" <jchoy@manlab.com>]

At the moment I am using ipfm, but will most likely be switching to
bandwidthD for monitoring the traffic. We setup awstats to monitor FTP usage
as it can parse out the log file. Were just looking for something that has
capability to monitor both. And provide daily/monthly stats in one
application.

Thanks for your help.
Jeremy

Hi,

You'll need to take the bandwidth usage information out of the log files
for your web server and ftp server, if you're trying to break down
utilisation on that level.

Something along the lines of awstats will give you throughput stats from
your apache logs.  I'm guessing there is something similar for your
ftpd.

You should probably still measure aggregate bandwidth utilisation too -
I use mrtg for this (the tools it comes with, cfgmaker, indexmaker are
very easy to use.  It will be a pleasure to set up if you have the
benefit of a managed switch which can spit this data out on a per-port
basis.)
