Bandwidth Reports page

The Bandwidth Reports page shows your site's bandwidth usage, by service, from the start of the monitoring period to the current day.

• Note: If your site is new, you may have to wait a few minutes before bandwidth statistics become available. Also, no statistics are available until there is traffic on your site.

On this page you can perform several tasks and view the following information:

In the Bandwidth Usage Reports section:

• View monthly Reports. A list of the past reports available for your site.

In the Summary <monitoring period start and end dates> section:

• Bandwidth (Entire Site). A bar graph that shows the bandwidth used (darker shade) and the bandwidth available (lighter shade).

• Statistics last updated. The date (in year-month-day format) on which the bandwidth usage report was last updated.

• Total Used. The bandwidth (in megabytes) your site used during the selected month.

• Quota (Threshold). The maximum bandwidth (in megabytes) allocated to your site for the selected month.

• Note: If your site exceeds the bandwidth quota threshold, which is determined by your service provider, an email notification is sent to the Site Administrator's email address.

• Available. The amount of bandwidth, in megabytes, that is unused and available to the site. This amount is the difference between the bandwidth allocated to the site and the bandwidth the site has used.

Usage Breakdown for Services for <site name> <monitoring period>

The columns in this section include:

• Service. The name of the service using bandwidth on your site. Bandwidth usage is reported for the following services.

• HTTP - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on your HTTP server.

• HTTPS - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on your HTTPS server.

• Note: The Header information for both HTTP and HTTPS is reported separately so that the HTTP and HTTPS usage information corresponds to the statistical data provided by log analyzers.

• FTP - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on your FTP server.

• IMAP - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on your IMAP server.

• POP3 - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on your POP3 server.

• SMTP - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on your SMTP server.

• SSH - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on your SSH server.

• Telnet - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on your Telnet server.

• Unknown - Quantifies bandwidth consumed by traffic on custom or self-configured servers.

• Note: If you have self-configured a service distinct from any of the above-mentioned services, it is qualified as an "unknown" service.  For example, if you have configured a service, RSH, bandwidth consumed by traffic on this server will be classified as unknown.  

• All Services - Cumulative bandwidth usage statistics for all of the above-mentioned services.

• Usage. A bar graph showing how much incoming and outgoing network traffic is on your site.

• In (M). The bandwidth, in megabytes, used by the service for incoming network traffic.

• Out (M). The bandwidth, in megabytes, used by the service for outgoing network traffic.

• Total (M). The total bandwidth, in megabytes, used by the service.

• % of All. The total bandwidth, shown as a percentage, used by this service in comparison to other services.

On this page you can:

• View past bandwidth usage reports by clicking the arrow in the View Monthly Reports list, then selecting a time period.

The time periods are based on the bandwidth monitoring cycle, which is established by your service provider.
