Hej Patrick
Again there might be to ways I think. You could log the traffic via
libpcap or netfilter.
Netfilter could be set up to log specific traffic and afterwords you
could parse the logfile and flush it. The collected data could then be
put into a RRD base and graphed. The parsing of the
Hey Patrick
I seem to have forgotten the point that you want to relate the bandwidth
usages to a user. In the perl script you posted a link for, the author
uses lsof. This sollution is ok, if the connection is still in the list,
however if you accumulate in a log from netfilter, the probability
Sure - what I want to do is set up a colocated webhost/shell server,
and sell people accounts. However, I only have 2000mb upstream/2000mb
downstream free bandwidth, after which I start getting charged extra.
Therefore, I want to give *each user* a bandwidth quota, which if they
go over they can
Hi Patrick,
Iptables is capaple of matching/marking packets based on the uid or
guid of the owner of the process that generates traffic.
It's also possible to run apache as a different user for every virtual
host (apache suexec wrapper needed), so owner matching would also
work there.
For

d work there.
Actually it turned out that Non-CGI requests are still processed with
the user specified in the main User directive. so it won't work for
Thanks for those links. I'm building this server from scratch, so
kernel recompiling is fine. But will these tools be able to monitor
the bandwidth of individual users on the server itself? I realise you
grab the apache logs to monitor bandwidth for web servers, but what
about other services, say
