This is certainly possible, but the RRD GUI has a choice to display stats for 
WAN (Default) and LAN... selectin LAN essentially swaps the In/Out columns +/- 
a few gigs... 

We are running ntopng but it only has data for the last 12 days... the one 
webserver that is likely causing a lot of usage is reporting ~300GB used via 
ntopng... I assume that's total in/out.

Is it possible these numbers are for both interfaces on the pfSense box? If so, 
do they include both inbound and outbound traffic for both? That would 
effectively double the true data transfer if traffic isn't being routed between 
other subnets / interfaces on the firewall.  I don't have RRD loaded so this is 
strictly speculation on a possible cause.

Provider...

We've run into a data overage situation at a datacenter... We get charged a 
premium per GB over 500GB (yes I know, stupid). Their reporting system seems to 
indicate significantly less data usages vs pfSense's RRD reporting...
their billing system seems to be indicating overage similar to their 
reporting... Uploads seem to be growing significantly. Any idea why the pfSense 
box seems to be counting differently than the datacenter's metrics?
We need to track down where this usage is happened, but I know users have only 
grown ~5% over that same period of time.

Here are stats for each month:

January                                February
March                                   April
May (to 23rd)
Datacenter (Upload/Download):               618.95GB/76.01GB
365.25/47.15GB                799.92/79.81GB                801.67/105.01GB
581.57/76.26GB
pfSense RRD (Upload/Download):            1372.41GiB/148.91GiB
1388.65/149.60GiB           1697.71/152.24GiB
1706.53/200.86GiB           1177.95/139.55GiB


Any suggestions how or why there is a mismatch?

Regards,

Chuck
