[mohaa] Server Requirements

[Swen Wulf]

Mrtg or check out phpnetanalyzer...

http://www.mrtg.org

http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-netanalyzer/

The demo site is broken, but I got it on mine http://stats.godzunited.com (also kinda broken, but you get the idea)

For a "real-time" quick check I use a tool called STG. It's like mrtg, just in realtime. It runs on windows.
You can find it on http://www.theworldsend.net under links & hacks & tricks.

does anyone have any cool scripts that I can run to monitor current 
average and max in/out bandwidth for an ethernet interface??
