Is there something that will allow me to log my daily and monthly bandwidth usage?
Thanks

snmpd @ openwrt box & mrtg @ the apache/server box.

Try vnstat. This is a nice text based app to monitor your bandwidth usage.

Hi !
rrdtool would also work (if menawhile fixed in svn)

ciao gerd

vnstat seems like a nice tool to use, where I can get it for openwrt?

I kinda want something that shows me the info for the past month in a table form and not so much a graph form.

You can install it with ipkg like other packages ...

Alright thanks, I didn't realize vnstat was in the repo

How should I go about copying the database on a shutdown or reboot, and then on a regular basis? I thinking that I would want to make some space on the jffs partition and maybe copy the database one a week and then on shutdown/reboot. Then I would setup something like a samba share I copy the database every hour maybe? I think I read somewhere that copying to jffs frequently is bad.

Also how can I restore the database? Thanks!

EDIT: I ended up mounting a remote nfs share to /var/lib/vnstats and in /etc/init.d/custom-startup I added

mkdir -p /var/lib/vnstat
mount /var/lib/vnstat

Everything seems to be ok so far
