Hello,
I was wondering how one would go about regulating bandwidth of a server running RH Linux 8.0 and Apache. I am running a webserver, and want only one person to be able to download one file at a time. So, they can't click about 10 files and soak up lots of bandwidth. Plus, I would like to cap... (2 Replies)

Hi all
I have been running iptraf on a linux box for a few months monitoring bandwidth utilization realtime from mac address with port mirroring.

mrtg-squid
MRTG-SQUID(1) mrtg MRTG-SQUID(1)
NAME
mrtg-squid - using mrtg to monitor Squid
DESCRIPTION
Squid 2.3 knows SNMP and you can therefore use mrtg to monitor it quite easily.
I have made some modifications to mrtg which simplify this. My work is based on earlier modification made by: matija.grabnar@arnes.si and
kostas@nlanr.net.
MODIFICATIONS
I added new code for displaying correct units to the previous patches "perminute" and "perhour" ("option" tokens), which allows other mea-
surement in addition to "persecond".
Then I created a new option token "dorelpercent" which allows the calculation of the percentage of IN-stream / OUT-stream on the fly and
then displays it on a fixed scale from 0% to 100%. For my requirements, this does good work. Maybe someone wants a floating scale. It
should not be a problem to implement it, too (but give me an option to keep my fixed scale). If IN-stream is always less than OUT-stream
both lines (OUT-stream and relative percent) are always displayed on top of IN-stream bulk. Otherwise this option makes no sense. With this
option you can display hitrates, errorrates (for router monitoring: rel. droprates) easily now.
If you use this options please consider that you need a 5th colourname/value pair in your Colours statements!
Due to some discussion on this list, I have implemented two tokens too:
"kilo" and "kMG"
"kilo" should contain the value of k (1000 or 1024), where 1000 is the default.
"kMG" is a comma separated list of multiplier prefixes, used instead of "", "k", "M", "G", "T" on the MRTG display. Leave the place free,
if you want no prefix.
Also an incomplete list of OIDs for the new SQUID release is added.
I hope you enjoy it.
CONFIG EXAMPLE
You can measure responsetimes in ms and display it with MRTG correctly with:
kMG[measure-ms]: m,,k,M,G,T
short[measure-ms]: s
You can display now MB/s as 1024*1024 B/s with:
kilo[volume]: 1024
A sample config for squid:
Target[proxy-hit]: cacheHttpHits&cacheProtoClientHttpRequests:public@proxy
Title[proxy-hit]: HTTP Hits
PageTop[proxy-hit]: <H2>proxy Cache Statistics: HTTP Hits / Requests</H2>
Suppress[proxy-hit]: y

Options[proxy-hit]: nopercent, perminute, dorelpercent
Target[proxy-srvkbinout]: cacheServerInKb&cacheServerOutKb:public@proxy
Title[proxy-srvkbinout]: Cache Server Traffic In / Out
PageTop[proxy-srvkbinout]: <H2>Cache Statistics: Server traffic volume (In/Out) </H2>
