Traffic monitor doesn't report all traffic

[PlymWS]

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.
