Hi
Ive been running a relay as a test for a broader rollout including an exit but Im not sure of a few things and am finding it difficult to get further information so here goes - my relay is running at the moment but on atlas it has a line through the uptime? Is this something with 'Accounting' soft? - 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) - on atlas i dont seem to have any bandwidth showing? - what is HSDir and V2dir on atlas flags mean? - 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?
Im looking at implementing 4-5 relays any suggestions about where and any isps that may allow tor in these regions?
Thanks for any help Snap
i suggest using prometheus for your tor relay stats monitoring because it can easily monitor your bandwidth and any other useful metrics that you like... and it can also render pretty graphs.

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.

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.
