Bandwidth Monitoring - No CP

[karrot-x]

Hello, as you all know we Debian owners don't have the option of Plesk/Ensim/Cp and I *really* need to figure out how to monitor bandwidth on a per domain basis for my clients. I have been looking all over the net and found that mrtg seems the best but it only does it on a ip basis, what do the hotshot cp's use? What have you guys used in the past that works?


Thanks.

Plesk just parses the FTP logs, web logs, and maybe the mail logs. cPanel uses some combination of IPtables and log parsing.

If you're just hosting websites, checking your apache logs should be enough. If you want to be anal about other types of traffic, then you've got your work cut out for you. ;)

Mail: you would have to have a mail server that can log how much traffic each session uses.

FTP and web logs cover everything else.

MRTG really isn't very useful for bandwidth tracking purposes because it's not accurate enough. It's good for making graphs and that's about it.
