    Hi,

    I'm doing some investigation about traffic analyzing on apache and mail on vhosts.

    Because ISPconfig is capable of doing so, how is this exactly done ?

    I'm checking the code to see if I can get some more info about it, but this topic might be valuable too.

    For mail, is that calculated on the IMAP server or on the MTA itself ?

    I hope I can figure out a standalone sample here :)

    Cheers,

    Matt

    The apache traffic is calculated by analyzing the access log file. I dont have standalone a example for this, take a look in the script /root/ispconfig/scripts/shell/logs.php

    For the mail traffic there is no log file, so ISPConfig uses a procmail recipe that analyzes the mail size before the mail is stored in the mailbox.

    Ok, thanks for the apache log, I alreayd have looked into this and I see almost how it's done.

    If people have some good examples about that part, always welcome !

    About mail, so pop and imap to the client are not calculated ?

    No, we calculate just the incoming traffic.
