Bandwidth usage by secondary IP

ajrosen
Hi all - 

I tried searching but couldn't find an answer.

We have a cable connection with 5 IP addresses on it. We have 1 application assigned to one of the IPs. I need to know how much traffic is coming in on this 'interface'. I can get bandwidth statistics for the physical interface, and I can get aggregate usage for the virtual interface. What I can't do is determine things like min, peak and average utilization. Is that information buried anywhere? I've taken the total data and divided it by the seconds in the day to get an average, but I really need to know what our peak is.

Thanks for the help.

Adam

    Adam, I think that, even in versions going back several years, the Executive Report lists traffic by interface with Current-Average-Max usage.  Check 'Reporting >> Hardware'.  Is that what you're looking for?

    Cheers - Bob

    I thought I had already replied to this... I guess not - 

    Anyways, that report gives me the usage for the PHYSICAL interface. However, I need the usage for the VIRTUAL interface that supports one of our other static IPs. I need more detailed information about bandwidth usage for a few services we are using.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks

    If you have activated accounting, what about "Top Services by Client" for your IP on the 'Accounting' tab of 'Reporting >> Network Usage'?

    Bob - 

    I found that about 30 minutes ago while poking around. I had been there before, but didn't look in enough depth to see that I could just filter out by the external IP address and see the breakdown of services and bandwidth consumed for each.

    Thanks for the help!
