Hi @mlvskumar,
DigitalOcean Monitoring is a free, opt-in service that gathers metrics about Droplet-level resource utilization. It provides additional Droplet graphs and supports configurable metrics alert policies with integrated email Slack notifications to help you track the operational health of your infrastructure.
To enable extended metrics and enhanced monitoring features, like metrics-based alerting, you need to install the metrics agent on your Droplet. You can do this automatically when you create a Droplet, or manually after you create a Droplet.
Here is a link to the documentation on how you can install the said agent:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/monitoring/how-to/install-agent/
As to your question, if you haven’t installed this, I believe the bandwidth graphs are showing data up to 14 days.
Regards, KFSys
To check the current follow these steps:
In case this is helpful, here is how the usage works:
Outbound data transfer is shared between your Droplets each billing cycle. If the outbound transfer exceeds the amount included with your Droplets at end of the cycle, you will be charged $0.01 per excess gigabyte.
Hope that this helps!
