Arbor boxes (E30/E100) also do this kind of reporting with very granular options - not cheap, but work well...

ETINC - www.etinc.com - Really good with a mysql backend and gives you exactly what you are looking for. You can either buy the software and build it into a FreeBSD box or you can get the already built appliance. The price point is also quite good 2. Allot - www.allot.com -Comes with a lot of features and has a good reporting mechanism. They have boxes of different sizes and add on software for reports etc. higher priced but works very well.

Oh mighty list, I am curious what tools you use to generate monthly usage and billing reports for your execs? I am not really looking for a RRD type solution, rather a page I can pull up and gives me the numbers (95p, cost, overage, etc.) for the past month. Copy and paste into a spreadsheet, job complete....

We are getting to the point where we have multiple datacenters and numerous uplinks and circuits for each, I find I am spending too many hours each month compiling data.

I was thinking about writing some quick scripts to poll the router interfaces and put it to database, but I figured I would ask before re-inventing the wheel.

Thanks in advance! Isaac
