Hi, Is there a way to monitor bandwidth usage of a droplet as I couldn’t find an API method for that

Hello,
Just a quick update here. DigitalOcean now has a Monitoring API endpoint that you could use. For more information you can take a look at the official API documentation here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#tag/Monitoring
Also, keep in mind that you need to have the DigitalOcean Metrics Agent installed on your Droplet in order to get some data back.
You can install the do-agent as per the instructions here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/monitoring/how-to/install-agent/
Hope that this helps. Best, Bobby
This isn’t currently implemented, but DO is working on it, see http://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digital-ocean/suggestions/3296966-show-resources-being-using-like-cpu-ram-disk-an <br> <br>If you wanted to monitor bandwidth usage you’d have to use a package like “vnstat” or “munin”.
Once they implement bandwidth limits, there should be a monitor in place. Use the package vnstat until then.
