Monitoring bandwidth on your server

Question

I use the role on a shared host, and I could use the standard tools there to view the bandwidth graph.

Now I have my sites running on a dedicated server, and I have no idea what is going on: P sigh

I installed webmin on my computer with a Fedora 10 processor, and I would like to monitor bandwidth. I was about to configure the bandwidth module, and he gave me this warning:

Warning - this module will log ALL network traffic sent or received on the 
selected interface. This will consume a large amount of disk space and CPU
time on a fast network connection.

Can't I use something lighter and more suitable for NOOB? 'cough' Free tool 'cough'

Thanks for any help.

Take a look at mrtg . It is quite easy to configure, runs a simple cron task to collect snmp statistics from your router, and shows some reasonable and simple graphs. The data is stored in the RRD database (for details, see the mrtg page) and can be used for other purposes.
