I developed a new network statistic reporting process to try and catch Apache performance problems before they happen.
Our new VPS hosting plan has lots of bandwidth capacity.
I finally got around to doing some simple network stats. Our VPS is on a 1.5Mbps connection, and there are times I wonder if we're pushing the limit. I had tried to estimate this from by our http log files. But using /proc/net/dev instead is much simpler and much more accurate.
Now that my CentOS server is up and running, it's time to load my Apache web log data into MySQL and do some analysis.
My initial research into hotlinking has found a couple of sites stealing our content.
Found a bad web robot using our site and wasting bandwidth.
A minor mis-adventure trying to find out what tm.net.my is doing to get on my top ten website usage stats.
