#1877 Bandwidth Monitor Not Accurate
On my server, the bandwidth monitor module is not accurately
reporting all the sites bandwidth used (most sites are 100 fold
below what webalizer reports their bandwidth used as). The only
possibly thing I can tell is it seems that sites that were created
recently seemed to be more accurate than older sites.

Make sure you are running the latest Virtualmin from
http://www.webmin.com/vdevel.html - some older versions had
a bug that caused the bandwidth reports to be inaccurate.

Ok, I'm running 2.40 and it is still occuring. The server is a basic gentoo
install, with about 60 sites, pulling about 125 gigs a month.

Have you tried the 2.41 development version, from
http://www.webmin.com/vdevel.html?
And forcing the re-generation of bandwidth stats by deleting
the files in /etc/webmin/virtual-server/bandwidth/*

I've seen the same effect: Bandwidth monitoring values
vastly differ from what webalizer calculates. One site has
transferred more than 25 GB this month, but bandwidth
monitoring still claims that it's only 2 GB so far. Another
site should have used 3.9GB worth of bandwidth, while
webalizer says it was 5GB this month. WTF? Where does bw.pl
get it's values from?
I've deleted the files under
/etc/webmin/virtual-server/bandwidth/ but to no effect. What
can I do? Best regards,
Christian

Okay, I too have dumped the contents in /etc/webmin/virtual-server/
bandwidth, and mine still shows completely wrong (and almost always
way low) bandwidth numbers.

I've tried version 2.41 as well as deleting the bandwidth
files once again but it won't make any difference. Values
are unchanged. Any hints are appreciated...

Virtualmin generates the bandwidth counts by looking at each
website's access_log file. Once possible reason this could
be messed up is if the log is being deleted before bw.pl has
a chance to process it. However, as long as you keep at
least a day's worth of rotated versions around, the counts
*should* be accurate ..
