Server :: Home Server Bandwidth Usage

Jan 27, 2011

I am looking to probably make a home server act as a backup for most of my data but also as a media server. I want to host all my music and videos for the most part on the server and then regardless what computer I'm using I could listen or watch. (Another question would be could I have itunes find my music on the server and play it).

But anyway, from people with home media servers, what kind of bandwidth usage do you go through a month? Comcast (ISP) limits me to 250GB and I'm thinking this is enough for moderate usage, I just want to make sure before I start the project.

General :: Check Server Bandwidth Usage In Real Time?

Mar 21, 2010

I'm trying to check my server's bandwidth usage in real time, installed the following programs but none worked so far.

Iptraf - No results even when using iptraf -u
Tcptrack - Error : pcap_loop: cooked-mode frame doesn't have room for sll header
Iftop - No results, everything 0b

Are there any programs that displays bandwidth usage in real time and actually works on VPSes? Or getting real time bandwidth usage on a VPS is simply impossible?

Ubuntu Servers :: Skews Bandwidth Usage When Pull Music Off The Server

Aug 20, 2010

Recently our houses internet usage has skyrocketed and i'm trying to keep an eye on it using bandwidthd (installed on the server). It installed fine and counts traffic fine, the problem is we have a server that hosts our music/movies/etc and when people pull music off the server it skews their bandwidth usage. I'm looking for a way to exclude all traffic on the local network and only count internet traffic. This is the filtering part of the config file

Ubuntu Networking :: Control Bandwidth Usage On Home Network?

Dec 5, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and all was well on my home network until a household member decided to get a laptop and jump on my network. All he does is watch videos on ....., download crap from P2P sites, and maybe even watch p0rn. Is there something I can use to control this or maybe set my router to give him the minimum resources available? Also, I want to block him from downloading junk from P2P sites or places he might get a virus. I'm on a D-Link DGL 4500 Router.

Ubuntu :: Program To Monitor Bandwidth Usage?

Jul 28, 2010

I live in the boonies, so I have satellite internet. It's not too bad, but I'm restricted to 200 mb's of download per day.

I'm looking for an app that will keep track of my usage, so I don't go over 200. I was using "System Monitor", but it's a little buggy, so I'd like to try something else.

Ubuntu Networking :: Monitoring Bandwidth Usage On Lan?

Jul 6, 2011

Since this is my number 1 place for asking questions, I figured I would go here first. So I live in New Zealand where good internet doesn't exist yet, and I'm in a flat with 3 other people and we get 40gb a month which hasn't been lasting more than 2 weeks. It is somewhat of a mystery where all our data has gone, so I need a way to monitor usage. We use a variety of operating systems including linux, xp & windows 7 on my pc, and xbox 360. Is there any kind of integrated solution I can use to monitor everything with password protection so it can't be disabled? I have tried looking in the router, but it doesn't give me many statistics, and I think it combines lan with wan usage. At this stage I don't have the money to make a linux box to put between the router and the switch that can monitor everything, but if it comes to it, I will shell out for one.

Ubuntu :: Conky - Hourly Bandwidth Usage?

Jul 10, 2011

So, my mother is out in the deep country and all we can get is Xplornet Satellite internet. They have a fair access policy (FAP) that says they will (and definitely do) throttle your speeds if you download more than 50MB or upload more than 5.5MB in one hour. This restriction resets hourly. As you can imagine, this is fairly limiting, but we have to live with what we have as there are no other options specifically where we live. Right now, I have Conky configured to show the ${totalup wlan0} and ${totaldown wlan0}, but that is per session. In this example, since the computer started, 8.74MB have been downloaded and 1.95MB uploaded. However, this information is somewhat irrelevant as we really only need to know the current usage starting at the top of the hour. Maybe even show the previous hour too.

Slackware :: Monitor And Log Internet Bandwidth Usage

Jan 2, 2010

I'm looking for a simple way to monitor and log my internet bandwidth usage. Not total network device usage, just internet usage.Something that provides a simple chart of daily, monthly, and yearly usage, but ignoring all bandwidth on my internal LAN.I notice several possible tools, such as vnstat, ntop, iftop. Yet all of them seem focused on tracking the entire network interface. I want to ignore LAN usage. I do not really care about LAN bandwidth.iftop seems intended only for on-the-fly usage and not cumulative logging. I can't tell whether vnstat or ntop can be configured to log only internet usage rather than all traffic through the network device.

I do not want to log every connection like squid. The utility should only log stats on a daily basis, but also be able to display cumulative totals from those daily entries.I don't need DNS resolution, port monitoring, etc.I prefer something that runs in the background as a service or daemon, but can provide statistics quickly with a terminal window. All I want is to view total daily, monthly, and yearly internet usage. Perhaps even pipe the output to a local email each day too.

Ubuntu :: How To Limit Bandwidth Usage For Updates

Dec 13, 2010

I recently read a windows tip which read: - Windows allots 20% of the bandwidth by default for various services like Windows update, spyware checks etc. We can get hold of this bandwith by changing the values of limit reserve bandwidth under QOS packet scheduler. Now my questions: How to limit the bandwidth usage used by ubuntu updates in the above lines?

Server :: "free" Shows Far More Memory Usage Than Summing Up Application Usage?

Aug 6, 2010

I've come across a really strange issue with one of my RHEL servers. The "free" command shows that 7019 MB of memory are actually in use by my system, but when summing up the actual usage (or even virtual usage like the example below) it doesn't add up - the sum is far less than what is reported by "free":

Code:

[root@server1 ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 12011 7946 4065 0 4 23
-/+ buffers/cache: 7919 4092

Debian :: Network Bandwidth Usage Monitoring Application?

Jun 7, 2010

I just wanted to use a network bandwidth usage monitoring application. Scenario: I am using an EV-DO based USB broadband modem with a limited GB plan. For additional data usage they charge per MB. Currently I use either wvdial (mostly) or pon to start the connection. So if there is any network monitoring application which could log time used and data used for the session, it would be great. Actually debian has too many different network monitoring applications, But I am not sure which one suits well for this purpose.

Fedora Networking :: Monitor My Monthly Bandwidth Usage?

Aug 18, 2009

I'm on Comcast (insert vomit sound here) and they have a 250GB monthly limit. I don't think I'm remotely close to this on a normal month and want to figure out if I could perhaps squeak by with the 5GB limit imposed by Verizon's 3G wireless broadband.

I'm ideally looking for a quick easy-to-use GUI application, rather than something that's done via the command line.

I thought perhaps I could look in my Account and find a nice "You've used X percent of 250 GB thus far" window. Then I called, but Comcast couldn't tell me. They just borked me off to some Windoze application 3rd party which I'm supposed to install.

I run Skype and occasionally download Fedora iso images and so on. Rarely am I doing more than surfing the web, chatting, and sending emails. I doubt I'm even close to 250GBs but I'm guessing that 5GB will end up being problematic.

Are there any programs that will keep track of how much bandwidth I'm using? It'd be great to have an application that runs there in the taskbar and just shows a graph of how much I've used thus far.

General :: Networking - Get Single Bandwidth Usage Sample?

Aug 27, 2011

What I want to do is to write a script that gathers some information (like cpu temperature and bandwidth usage) and logs it into a file. I can't figure out how to get a single sample of the current used bandwidth: I've found that there's plenty of tools to get this information from command line, but the majority of them are curses based, so I can't take their output to put it into a file. Among these I've found bmon, that has a nice ascii output. The problem is that this output is updated constantly, while what I want is a single "sample" per program call.

Is there a way to get this done with bmon or someone knows another program to accomplish this task?

Networking :: Bandwidth Monitoring - Log Based On Usage / Consumption?

May 10, 2009

Can you suggest bandwidth monitoring software for GUN/Linux that will log bandwidth based on usage/consumption.

Not options:
- slurm or any other "real time" bandwidth monitoring
- /sbin/ifconfig <interface> | grep "RX bytes" or the like

What do you use to monitor your monthly, daily, hourly bandwidth consumption (assuming that you do).

Ubuntu Networking :: Monitoring Networked Computers Bandwidth Usage?

Mar 25, 2011

Back in school I remember using an application that would identify active IP addresses on a network, and basically show you a log of activity. We actually monitored another lab and went in and showed them what we saw (all the machines had IP addresses on the monitors.) We could see websites, bandwidth, etc.

I'm trying to find an application that would do this again. I've been trying to monitor my networks to see what machines are performing unauthorized operations. ISP is showing high bandwidth usage and there is no way checking email and browsing is using this amount, 200GB a month! Something is going on here.

Security :: Limit Incoming HTTP Bandwidth Usage With IPtables

Apr 5, 2011

Can I, with only the use of IPTABLES, limit the incoming bandwith for a protocol? We have for example servers that have a FTP and HTTP server running and whenever HTTP has a lot of connections open, the other uploads/downloads get a timeout. I know I can limit the number of connections but prefer to limit on protocol level. Is this possible using IPTABLES and if so, can someone indicate how to proceed or provide a link? If it's not possible can someone point me to the right tool for the job?

Software :: Virtual Host Bandwidth Usage Monitoring Apache

Mar 11, 2010

I've got an apache server running several virtual hosts. I have them separated by domain name, and they all come into the same IP address. I'm looking for a way to monitor the bandwidth that they use. The only feature that I'm really looking for is a breakdown of which domain is dishing out how much bandwidth.

blocks.com got three visitors this month. And spent 200kb in serving them.
emus.net got fifteen. And spent 1mb in serving them.
reverse.org got 4000. and spent 400mb in serving them.What I would like to see is a report, could be a web page could be a file. Ideally with graphs. Showing:
1.
2.....
3[400mb worth of dots]

1-blocks.com
2-emus.net
3-reverse.org

I don't need it to show me how many visitors or from where or anything like that. I am just looking for a side by side comparison of how much bandwidth each domain is using.Is there some application for this or something. Everything that I've found has been for information on a single site (awstat and friends can show me information for multiple sites, but as far as I know it won't show me information comparing them) I haven't found anything for nagios, but perhaps there is something out there for it, or a sneaky way to make a nice plugin that would do this.
