• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Traffic monitor doesn't report all traffic

I have noticed that the traffic monitor doesn't record all traffic to and from my server. It doesn't report TCP traffic and I have confirmed this by instaling vnstat and monitoring the useage this way.

Can I get the Plesk traffic monitor to report all traffic, including TCP packets, to and from my server through eth0 ?
 
Plesk only monitors FTP, HTTP, POP3/IMAP and SMTP (as you can see after selecting a domain under traffic). These are all TCP connections by the way. But for instance SSH is not accounted for, so if you go scp'ing large files (i.e. backups) to remote hosts the actual traffic on your server may be a lot higher than reported by Plesk.

The traffic monitoring in Plesk only shows you what traffic was generated by your clients, it is not suitable to monitor total traffic for your server. You'll need a separate logger for that. ntop looks pretty good, but I haven not played with it myself yet.
