Thread: Better server "% Used" description

    Talking Better server "% Used" description

    Well i noticed that it only allows for you to place the number of domains allowed. However for many users this is rather a useless exercise if you have your own server. Since WHMCS already imports data such as total space and bandwidth for each account the data is already there. So i was thinking of something on the home page like this:

    Server resources Used
    the amount space used / total
    or
    the amount space SOLD / total (for overselling purposes and future planning)

    AND OR

    the amount bandwidth used / total
    or
    the amount bandwidth SOLD / total (for overselling purposes and future planning)

    AND OR

    domains used / total

    The configuration should be so that any any of those options are viewable.

    I hope you like my idea
    Kind Regards

    this sounds good, i agree, when you run your own server its pretty pointless to limit the number of accounts and monitor usaged based on domain names, the only time that would be of any benefit is if you were using a version of plesk 30 or 100, and tbh, who would want to use plesk seeing as cpanel is far better

    I am, maybe a poll would be a better idea?

    Ya that seems like a smart idea to me.

    The issue of showing it based on resource rather than some meaningless arbitrary limits has been raised before. The simple answer is all thing are possible if you're prepared to pay for them to be developed, or write them yourself as a plugin

    If this "issue" has been raised before then it sounds like more people would like to see it also. And I think your "simple answer" IMHO kind of defeats the purpose of having a section called "Feature Requests." I could understand if Matt said for example "hey this is not going to happen unless you pay me or do it yourself" then yes that would be the simple answer, yet until that happens I think there is possibly another simple answer which could be "its coming out in version 3.6 or 3.7."
