Hi all I just started investigating and getting involved with Tor project. I have configured my router to port forwarding on one of its ports. Is there a way or some steps to follow in order to confirm that my bandwidth is being used by the relay?
I have checked and the port it's open.
Thanks

https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation.html.en is a good starting point. Once you have studied the available documentation and are able to ask specific questions, you will be more likely to get answers via this mailing list.

First thing to do would be configure Tor to log to a file and to read that file. You can check it to see if Tor logs any issues, and every 6 hours Tor will log bandwidth usage information.

Have a look at Nyx (successor to Arm).

This mailing thread may be of use: http://archives.seul.org/or/relays/Aug-2010/msg00034.html
Other ways that you can check the bandwidth usage of your relay is Atlas (https://atlas.torproject.org/) where you can search your relay's fingerprint note that the data presented there are not real time but may help to "visualize" easier some tor relay terminologies.
Since your relays is new it's bandwidth is not going to be fully utilized read this blog post to find out about the lifecycle of a new relay in Tor: https://blog.torproject.org/lifecycle-new-relay
Hope this helps.
Thank you for running relays!
