It is important that to understand the servers trends prior to setting your Traffic Burst Notification.

  1. Establish the servers normal average daily traffic usage
  2. Compare the traffic usage to determine an hourly average and set the rate to include enough leeway for busy periods.
  3. If your analysis indicates that the Traffic Burst Notifications default (200 MB in 1 hour), is too frequent. It would be recommended to increase the threshold to avoid unnecessary notifications.

To update your traffic burst notification frequency and threshold amount:

  1. Browse to konsoleH (http://myaccount.hetzner.co.za)
  2. Login with your Client number and Management password
  3. Click on ‘Hosting Services’
  4. Select your server from the Active accounts
  5. Select ‘Traffic’
  6. Select ‘Notifications’

If the new limit is exceeded after being adjusted it may require further investigation.
