(Unraid 6.8.3) High network usage: can't figure out why

Featured Replies

Hi, all,

 

I am using Unraid Basic 6.8.3.

 

My ISP app started alerting me a few days ago of HIGH data usage. For the last few nights, around 2am daily the Unraid server downloads (receives) gigs upon gigs of data. I know because I installed BandiwdthD and ntop.

 

I haven't installed anything in the last few days that would have caused that. I did install BandwidthD and ntop, but that was after I was notified of crazy data usage.

 

The static IP of the unraid box is the one listed as the culprit in both apps mentioned above.

 

On a ubuntu box I have I installed nethogs which shows not just live bandwidth stats, but also which process is using the network. Love that.

 

I can't install nethogs from the Unraid terminal. How can I see what process on the Unraid box is downloading/receiving over 200GB per night???

 

Months ago I installed Plex docker and while Plex scanned media, bandwidth usage was high. That was over in a day or two and no spikes in data usage for months.

 

I have very few things installed:
Plex

Emby

rclone

and some maintenance and backup apps or plugins.

 

Thank you!

If possible before rebooting and preferably with the array started
Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread.

Do you allow access to your server from outside your LAN?

If you mean there is some setting in Unraid That allows me to manage Unraid box remotely, no. I don’t have any open ports in my firewall or port forwarding.
