Topic : Virtualizor Showing wrong bandwidth usage


Posted By: mazaamahesh on February 8, 2024, 6:39 am
HI,

I have 3 nodes installed with Virtualizor with KVM and I am having an issue with bandwidth usage. My many clients complained that Virtualizor Showed wrong bandwidth usage first I did not believe but later many clients said so I created a VPS Windows and Linux VPS and waited for 24 hours and I found that both VPS showed bandwidth usage more than 32GB in 24 hours as incoming bandwidth and outgoing bandwidth almost none. so checked "Bandwidth Calculation" in the Virtualizor slave setting which is selected

"Normal Bandwidth calculation. Total usage will be shown as sum of upload and download."

I created a ticket but they reply me with a simple

"We calculate the usage from the dedicated server (from /proc/net/dev/) itself for the VPS interface.
/proc/net/dev/ will gather all the network usage, Calculations will vary from panel to panel.
We do not monitor/gather the usage but only store the usage metrics given by the server for the VPS's network interface.
"

what should I do now? does anyone face the same issue?

It appears Virtualizor calculates bandwidth usage based on server metrics from `/proc/net/dev/`. If you're experiencing discrepancies, verify settings, check network configurations, monitor traffic independently, and escalate issues with detailed data to Virtualizor support for resolution.

already did they said "our VPS is receiving a lot of traffic for ARP hence it is showing that much usage
We are going to add ebtables ARP drop for broadcast rules and that would cut down the usage by a lot.
The ebtables drop rule will be there soon."

but I dont know when they are going to do it.

Try changing Virtualizor’s bandwidth monitoring interface

Virtualizor monitors a specific network interface (e.g., eth0, ens33). If it's monitoring the wrong one, bandwidth stats will be off.

Hi,

Sir, can you check cronm process is stuck on your server
ps aux | grep cronm

you Can you kill that process and then
re-run the cronm script on your server and then check.
