Yeah, this is originally what the billing module was written for, to track usage in a more granular fashion, but not really to tell anyone about it.

Hi Adam,
I was afraid that would be the answer, but I suppose the billing module might be helpful!
It at least, helps me see what the usage is, even if I cant alert on it
Thank you!

Hi Simon,
We can't currently do this. It's not possible with the usual RRD storage because getting the data out of rrd is difficult, and providing a way to describe this in alerts would be even harder.
You can track this more easily with the billing module, but there's no alerting/notification from that system.
If you were very enterprising you could probably write something to extract the data from rrd periodically and send you an email.
Thanks Adam.

Hi All,
I wondered if anybody has been able to setup alerts for port usage?
I would like to monitor a machines network port,
and if it goes above say 20GB worth of upload in like 3 weeks then alert me?
I think I might need the billing part of observium setup for this but im not sure?
Kindest Regards
