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

Give it some time. Eventually it will show it correctly.

See the following page:
https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/423/what-are-good-explanations-for-relay-flags

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.

Soem stats about relay ASNs:
