Hi,
I was wondering if the numbers about BANDWIDTH (network usage) that the Container Management of Parallels Power Panel is showing are correct. These number swing from 0 to more than 1000% in a sample taken in a few minutes (498,6%, 300,3%, 450.5%, 150.2%,......, 1520.8% !!!!????). I have observed this everyday I have connected to the VPS

My VPS does not have anything, no webpages, no applications, just the OS !!!

Are these numbers normal?

Thanks.

I think it actually indicated 'real-time' network usage and is therefore a fairly useless gauge, have you tried to refresh/reload?
To shows the bandwidth usage of your VPS go to Logs-->Traffic Log

Do you mean that the container resources consumption overview screen is useless?

If you want to get bandwith usage do not use "network usage", it is not the right tools :)

I have tried to understand the tools that I have, how they work and if they are useful.

I have already checked Logs-->Traffic Log.
Thanks for your help.

I was wondering why the network usage panel has disappeared from Resources w/o explanation !!!
I think someone else thought it was useless, and sometimes less information is better.
