[cobalt-users] IP/Virtual Host Bandwidth Monitoring

["Devin Smith" <devinsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Short Story: I am looking for a program to do bandwidth accounting per
IP or per virtual host.

Long Story: I am presently using IPFM and BW-IPFM to monitor traffic per
IP.  Each IP address is it's own site, there are very few that share IP
addresses.  So I don't mind if I have to monitor per IP or per virtual
site.  I'd just like to be able to know how to monitor who is using
what. I've had lots of problems with IPFM giving bogus results (always
low), and it's driving me nuts.  I looked at using MRTG, but the problem
I see with it is that it only monitors the traffic for the complete
Ethernet interface - not each individual eth0:x or IP.  If I can monitor
each IP, I'm happy (I have a subnet assigned to my eth0 interface and
can use any of the IPs in that range, so I typically use a unique IP for
each site).  I need to track the TOTAL bandwidth used by each IP/site,
not just HTTP traffic.

Anyone got any easy places to point me?  I don't mind digging around a
bit, but the archives came up with only people asking the same as me and
getting no replies. :-(  I don't think any of them were using lots of
IPs as I am though, they all seemed to be using a single IP and asking
for traffic information per site.  I'd be happy with either or both
though.

Thanks in advance to anyone with a brainchild,

Devin
