How to set a server’s Traffic Burst Notifications
It is important to understand the server’s trends prior to setting your Traffic Burst Notification.
Evaluate trends
-
Establish the server’s normal average daily traffic usage.
-
Compare the traffic usage to determine an hourly average and set the rate to include enough leeway for busy periods.
-
If your analysis indicates that the Traffic Burst Notifications default setting of 200 MB in 1 hour is too frequent, we recommend increasing the threshold to avoid unnecessary notifications.
Update the notification frequency and threshold amount
- Under Products in the side menu, select Self-Managed Servers.
- Select the server name.
- Under Traffic tools, click on Burst Notifications.
- Select your preferred thresholds, timeframe, and email address(es).
- Click Update settings.
If the new limit is exceeded after being adjusted it may require further investigation.
