Near Real-time banwidth usage

[beesfan]

Hi, i was wondering if there is any way to see bandwidth usage on my vps server that's up to date? I've put some files online and users have been downloading them, but the bandwidth usage in Plesk hasn't gone up at all... I'm guessing it's updated daily? Is there any way to see current bandwidth usage?

Thanks

I use vnstat. Updated every 5 minutes. It's command line, but there is a web front end for it.

I've downloaded the tar file to my server but i have no idea where to go from here.... Did you install it on cent os?

Thanks

I have installed on Centos, yes. Pretty much just followed the INSTALL directions.

For VPS, you would use venet0 rather than eth0 as the interface to monitor.

Hm... i'm still using the 1.2.1 frontend. I'll upgrade later and see if it breaks things for me. Otherwise, I don't recall any problems. Maybe you need more than one day of data.

Edit: Nope, 1.3 works fine too.
