  HTTP Handler for bandwidth monitoring?

  May 28, 2004 02:28 AM|emiliodabdoub|LINK

  I would like to create an HTTPHandler to monitor the bandwidth of all my domains on my server, is it the correct approach? or ISAPI filters are more correct for this? Can I monitor all requests (.jpg,.swf,.gif, etc.) or just .aspx? And how would I know the size? If you have an article on how to do this it would be good. Thanks in Advance

  I think for monitoring the bandwidth, a HttpModule would be better. Just check and keep track of the content-length in the right place. We've done this to provide some in-built stats for a compression module (reporting the compressed and non-compressed sizes).

  I was reseraching and I found Log Parser that comes with IIS resource kit. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=56FC92EE-A71A-4C73-B628-ADE629C89499&displaylang=en I think that a better approach will be an app that analyze the log files and put them on SQL server. Then I can get reports from there (stats for clients), and also develop an http handler to query SQL on each request, if the client has Exceeded his bandwidth, I just redirect to another page. Anyone has the structure of a database for web statistics?

  Hi emiliodabdoub and Jason, Speaking of Log Parser, Roy have 2 good blogs in this subject: - http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/regexandxmlclasses.asp - http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/01/10/49441.aspx :) Regards, Colt

  That's a good trick, Colt. The only problem I can see, is that for those of us who do not have control over the server configuration (shared hosting) we can't just go and remap the .jpg/.gif or whatever to the aspnet_isapi.dll whenever we want. There must be a way to do it from just your own website (not worried about bandwidth leaching)... I'm more concerned about keeping track of bandwidth in general for the site and for each user. Thanks, Shawn

  Shawn, What about writing an HttpModule which would reside in the machine.config, and in the App_EndRequest, checking the size of the OutputStream object?
