I was looking for a way to monitor my VPS for a while as my hosting provider(DigitalOcean) only lets me check the bandwidth details in a graph form which is not cool :(
I found this this neat command-line tool called vnStat.
Assuming you have an Ubuntu server you could configure this awesome tool in a jiffy
- SSH in to your server and type
sudo apt-get install vnstat
- Configure vnstat (assuming you have eth0 network interface) using type
sudo vnstat -u -i eth
to check your stat type
vnstat -i eth0
enjoy :)
