How to monitor traffic on Self-Managed Servers

It’s possible to monitor your traffic usage on a regular basis via the xneelo Control Panel. You can view server traffic statistics and filter these according to various billing periods. A traffic report is generated according to the selected report type and specified time period.

It is important that you regularly use this tool to check for any unusual traffic activity.


  • Traffic reports

    1. Log in to the xneelo Control Panel.
    2. Under Products in the side menu, select Self-Managed Servers.
    3. Select the server name.
    4. Under Traffic tools, click on Traffic Reports.
    5. Select the required period and click Generate Report.
    6. A graph displays the total traffic as well as incoming and outgoing requests generated by that server’s IP range over the period of time that you have specified.
    7. You can also view the traffic usage for a specific IP Address by scrolling down to Traffic Overview and selecting the IP range.





  • Burst notifications

    In order to assist you in effectively monitoring your traffic usage, we have set up a notification system to forewarn you of over-usage.
    1. Log in to the xneelo Control Panel.
    2. Under Products in the side menu, select Self-Managed Servers.
    3. Select the server name.
    4. Under Traffic tools, select Burst Notifications.
    5. Select your preferred thresholds, timeframe, and email address(es).
    6. Click Update settings.





  • Burst threshold

    You have the option to be notified when your server exceeds a certain amount of traffic (which you determine) within a period of time that you specify. For example, if you’d like to be notified when you have used more than 500 MB of traffic within 3 hours, simply set your burst threshold to these values and the control panel will send you a notification email, should this threshold be reached. A default notification is enabled which is set to 200 MB in 1 hour.
