VirtualHost bandwidth management
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi All,
I'm looking for a way to measure data volume and bandwidth usage for
Apache virtualhosts. It would also be nice if we could throttle the
available bandwidth based on data volume usage.
I would prefer the data to be available in a database so our developers
can provide customers with a webpage showing how much data volume has
been used.
I tried many Apache modules for this purpose. Mod_cband used to work
fine, but it did not appear to work with MySQL databases. Since the
latest release of Debian, the Apache2 module mod_cband is no longer
available and the Etch version can be installed but does not seem to
work. Other modules do not provide the functionality I'm looking for.
Mod_bw makes it possible to limit bandwidth, but that's about it.
Another thing I tried is to parse awstats data and put it in a database.
This would work, but how should I throttle the bandwidth dynamically?
Also, we are planning to move all our vhosts to an LVS web cluster. A
few questions that arise are: what about statistics if many servers
serve the same pages? Which server should do the bandwidth measurement?
