- for server monitoring Im using nagios but it is very difficult to set this up to monitor bandwidth use does anyone know of a tool to do this? (Im using webmin to record bandwidth use but it doesnt have any alerting on it)
I am using Munin to monitor relay bandwidth. Do you want to monitor it, to just get some information, or is it about bandwidth limits?
You can limit your relays by bandwidth and traffic. See the FAQ about this: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#LimitTotalBandwidth
- on atlas i dont seem to have any bandwidth showing?
Give it some time. Eventually it will show it correctly.
- what is HSDir and V2dir on atlas flags mean?
See the following page: https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/423/what-are-good-explanations-for-r...
But i bet you can easily find the answers on the official pages aswell.
- ive seen the good/bad isp page but this seems quite old is there anywhere to get more up to date information on good isps?
On non-exit nodes I tend to just try it. About exit nodes, I suggest that you ask the ISPs before. To contribute to network diversity I strongly suggest, that you set up some relays at some more exotic ISPs/Countries.
