How to get daily bandwidth statistics for a particular VPS in SolusVM

Answer

This functionality is yet to be implemented in SolusVM.

As a workaround,

Create a script running every day to collect the daily bandwidth usage of a particular VPS. Here is the draft:

1. Connect to Master node via SSH
2. Create a script /root/script.sh with the content like below
   

   CONFIG_TEXT: #!/bin/bash
   FILE=/home/bandwidth.txt
   FILE2=/home/daily.txt
   key="$1"
   PaWD=$(cat /usr/local/solusvm/includes/solusvm.conf | awk -F ":" '{print $3}')
   DB=$(cat /usr/local/solusvm/includes/solusvm.conf | awk -F ":" '{print $1}')
   DBUSER=$(cat /usr/local/solusvm/includes/solusvm.conf | awk -F ":" '{print $2}')
   HOST=$(cat /usr/local/solusvm/includes/solusvm.conf | awk -F ":" '{print $4}')
   date=`date`
   if [ ! -f "$FILE" ]; then
   touch $FILE
   echo "0" > $FILE
   fii=$(mysql --user="$DBUSER" --password="$PaWD" $DB -Ne"select bandwidthused from vservers where vserverid=$key") j=$(cat $FILE) y=`expr $i - $j`
   echo $date >> $FILE2
   echo $y >> $FILE2
   echo $i > $FILE

3. Add execution permission to script:
   

   # chmod + x /root/script.sh

4. Create a cron task as follows:
   

   CONFIG_TEXT: 59 23 * * * /root/script.sh 775

This cron will invoke the script for VPS with VPS ID 775. It will calculate how much bandwidth was used for a day.
Cron will be running at 23:59 every day.
