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

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!
