Hi Ive just recently migrated to Centos 6.2 dedicated server, with virtualmin GPL installed via the script.
Problem: Bandwidth does not show up at all under the quota section in the information panel.
Bandwidth monitoring is enabled. I believe monitoring is working because I can run a bandwidth report and it shows the relevant information.
Is there anything I should do or try. A restart did not change the situation.
Status:
Closed (fixed)

If you login to virtualmin as root and go to the Bandwidth Monitoring page, does it show that monitoring is enabled?

When logging on as root, and going to "bandwidth monitoring" there is a button that says "turn off monitoring" which indicates monitoring is on.
If I click on "Generate Report" it will show the output of the reports within that page. Showing bandwidth amounts correctly.
However, the bandwidth information does not show up in the 'system information' page.. It seems like monitoring is on and tracking, but just not able to display the information in system information.
I have also checked the system information configuration page to ensure that show bandwidth is ticked there too.

How did you get to this Bandwidth Monitoring page? The correct page can be found by opening the System Settings category, and clicking on Bandwidth Monitoring. Then make sure Bandwidth monitoring active? is set to Yes, and click the Save button.

From what I understand there the only page where to you enable bandwidth monitoring is within the Bandwidth Monitoring section in the Networking section of Webmin. This is where I had enabled it. (for eth0, which is the card which holds my server IP)
It is possible to choose to show what displays in the system informational panel. And the option to display the Bandwidth quota is enabled there as well.
I've done the same install on a bunch of VPSes and none of them had this problem. This is my first install on a dedicated server though.. so its a bit puzzling as to why this would be different..

The "Bandwidth Monitoring" page under the "Networking" tab is for network-level monitoring - it can count traffic by port and destination, but not by domain.
The "Bandwidth Monitoring" page under "System Settings" is for virtual server domain-level monitoring, which is more likely what you want when using Virtualmin.

Thanks for the help. I was wrong and the issue is now corrected after following your instructions to the letter. Sorry for wasting your time.
The reason why it was different this time was I had restored data when migrating. So I didn't manually go through and check every system unlike the other times.
