Well, I found the iptables method of collecting bandwidth a bit too hands on and unforgiving. Therefore, using my mad php skills, and some bash scripting, I've whipped up an set of applications that allows you a more graphical and accurate overview using rrdtool, and some PHP scripts. You can have full bandwidth accounting for your VPS including daily, monthly and weekly tabulated data in about 5 minutes of setup time.

Here's some screen shots (full size screens are on our site):

http://www.serverpowered.com/images/bw1_thumb.jpg

http://www.serverpowered.com/images/bw2_thumb.jpg

http://www.serverpowered.com/images/bw3_thumb.jpg

The total process takes about 5 minutes to setup using the pre-created CentOS 4.2 templates that I have packaged up for you, and installing a bash script that does the collection.

The cool thing is, when you add a new VPS, the cronjob will automatically detect this and add the graphs for you. In addition, when you delete a VPS, the graphs and .rrd files will be deleted with it.

The only thing you need to install on the hostnode is the bash script and the rrdtool rpm ( or compile rrdtool from source ). The rest of the display, and web server that displays these graphs is located inside the VE that you'll create specifically for this purpose.

I just wanted to give something back to the community. Thanks for all that you are doing to help this awesome solution grow and become even more evolved Smile

The full details are found at ServerPowered.com, our server website: http://www.serverpowered.com/openvz-bandwidth-accounting.php

Please direct any discussions here, and not on our server company's website Smile I'll subscribe to this and help you out if you need it.


Enjoy!

This part isn't working, no link to the file.

Download: openvz-bandwidth-1.0.tar.gz

Shows link to http://www.serverpowered.com/

And thanks for the setup of this, been wondering an easier way for tracking.

Not a problem. Wish I could get Hybodus to do this for us, but that would be a pain!

That's fine. It just meanst that there's a VE that's not running inside your /vz/root directory. You probably created one and stopped it. It's safe to ignore that message.

Hats off to phpfreak Very Happy I had the setup done about ten minutes after you made the post. I worked around the little link snafu and found the file without problems. I did add >/dev/null 2>&1 to the cron job as it kept it quiet due to a couple of stopped VPS. You Sir! Are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for this contribution, I appreciate it very much.

1 make sure the gataway is ok !

2 make sure you not change the default setting the vps bandwidt name will be 69
or check the files
cat /root/bin/bandwidth.sh

look the line
BWVE=69
BWDIR=home/bandwidth
make sure the vps will be name 69

and recreate the vps name openvz-bandwidth-1.0.tar.tar

Done !

I have problem,

When I want to view a vps bandwith I get

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /var/www/html/bandwidth.php on line 368
Notice: Undefined index: 2006 in /var/www/html/bandwidth.php on line 421

index.php?t=getfile&id=141&private=0

also the main page with all vps charts looks like there are images missing.

Waited 5 day and nothing, the rrd files in the bandwith vps are changing, but still no charts.

I did everything step by step

Do I need to change or add some rpm packages on host machine? (I have rrdtool installed)

I solved the problem of missing charts. Smile

rrdtool version must be 1.0.49 in order to see the charts.
higher version won't work.

error with version higher then 1.0.49:

is this project dead? all of the centos-image links are broken and apparently the tar that contains the bandwidth script doesn't contain the needed web files, so the centos-image is a must have.

if somebody could put up a working link for the centos-image it would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the centos-4-i386-bandwidth.tar.gz, I don't know how long the link will be available so grab it while you can.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=967KJIH6

TIP: If you don't want to collect bandwidth usage of certain VPS add this line at the end of bandwidth.sh script. Physical interfaces attached to VPS won't have any bandwidth graphs.

rm -f /vz/private/<bandwidth-vps number>/home/bandwidth/vps-<number>.rrd

Try this one:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CXUAR0H6

Its updated to CentOS 4.6 and rrdtool 1.2.23

1. Update rrdtool on your hardware node to 1.2.23 (can be found at rpmforge)
2. Remove all the .rrd files form bandwidth vps /home/bandwidth/
3. Execute bandwidth.sh on hardware node, new .rrd files should be created in bandwidth vps /home/bandwidth/
4. Open a web browser an type IP address of your bandwidth vps

Anyone have an idea why I'm getting a failed dependency? I checked, I have the libraries, and if I do a force install with --nodeps I never get any graphs generated.

Ok, I was having trouble getting rrd to generate traffic and the version downloaded from here to work.

I'm on CentOS v4.5 64bit. So what I did as opposed to using the bandwidth VPS that I downloaded from here, is I used the centos-4-x86_64-minimal.tar.gz template and then installed php and the rrdtool from Dag's repository on both the master node and the new VPS. I also created the /home/bandwidth directory with 777 permissions and copied the files from the bandwidth VPS /var/www/html directory into my new minimal installation.

Everything worked like a champ from there.

After I get the rest of my servers and services built, I'll right an updated installation document that doesn't require the download of the VPS along with proper credits.

Hopefully though, the quick instructions up top with get some of you up and running.

Yes, please do. I'd love to have a proper installation process document to follow. Plus I'd rather do it in Debian, so I'd adapt the instructions for my situation.

Thanks!

Hi !!

I just update this excellent script for Debian Lenny x64 on both (HN and CT) and with the 1.3.1 version of rrdtool, I also did some minor changes in the script.

Here is a little HOWTO implement it :


1.
You must have installed Debian Lenny x64 + OpenVZ + rrdtool on your HN.
apt-get install rrdtool


2. Download and create a container using this template:
wget http://www.vazart.net/openvz/Debian-Lenny-x64_bandwidth.tar.gz

mv Debian-Lenny-x64_bandwidth.tar.gz  /vz/template/cache/

vzctl create 101 --ostemplate debian-5.0-x86_64  --config  ve-vps.basic --hostname graphs.yourdomain.com --ipadd xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --name graphs
vzctl set 101 --onboot yes --nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --userpasswd root:xxxxxxx --save
vzctl start 101

You can errase my old rrd data:
vzctl exec 101 rm /home/bandwidth/*


3. Download the script (Bash) to collecting data:
wget http://www.vazart.net/openvz/bandwidth.sh

You can open it and change the container number in the BWVE variable.

4. You can make an crontab to run this script every 5 min:
crontab -e

*/5 * * * *     root /root/bandwidth.sh 1>/var/log/vz-bandwidth.log 2>&1


5. Wait 5 min then visit: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ and happy graphing !

I hope it's useful!

Thanks for your hard work! Can you please post the template internals so I can apply it to an existing VE (and save you 193M of bandwidth)
