Hi,

how can I observe the traffic on a namebased virtual host?

System:
LINUX AND APACHE

: Hi,

In your httpd.conf place the following directives:

<VirtualHost someco.com>
DocumentRoot /path/to/their/documentroot
TransferLog logs/someco-access_log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost www.someco.com>
DocumentRoot /path/to/their/documentroot
TransferLog logs/someco-access_log
</VirtualHost>

Restart your webserver, then from the logs directory do:
tail -f someco-access_log

That depends on how close to the real figures you want to get. The
server logs will only log the body volume sent. I.e. compared to your
ISPs bill, the per-vhost logging on the server will be off by a more or
less considerable amount, depending on the amount of other traffic (http
incoming and headers, tcp overhead and other protocols). If all vhosts
on that IP have similar traffic patterns, that must not be a problem.
Otherwise, you'll have to consider moving problem hosts to their own IP
address or setting up an application level monitor.

try the server-status in the access.conf for example
