Hi,
*
Can anyone recommend a simple tool we can use to show the total data transferred (in and out) over the NIC in our Ubuntu server for the last 30 days, or really the last day is fine (we can x 30) ?
*
We are moving it to a data centre and need an idea of the transfer amount to purchase.
*
Olly

vnstat should be your primary weapon of choice if you seek a simple tool.
More info:

sudo aptitude install vnstat && man vnstat

+1 for vnstat, and if it is on a server you might also find vnstati
interesting. Basically the same as vnstat, only it outputs the stats
to png format.

Can't see vnstati in the apt-get sources that we have here. Got vnstat working, but the export to PNG would be nice.

What version of ubuntu are you running, on my 10.10 box I get:

vnstati:
Installed: 1.10-1
Candidate: 1.10-1
Version table:
*** 1.10-1 0
500 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages

If you need something more sophisticated, take a look at something like
munin. Take a look on Google Images to get an idea of what kind of charts
it generates.
