Web Parser – Hyper-V bandwidth usage reports online

Now your customers (VPS users) can see Hyper-V bandwidth usage reports online. We created a free add-on for the Hyper-V Bandwidth Meter, we call it Web Parser. The Web Parser processes the bandwidth usage log files and shows the reports online. Below you can see a sample report. To look at the reports users need to enter a password, so they can see only their virtual machine bandwidth usage. But the Hyper-V server administrator (with the master password) can see all the stats at a time.

Please download Web Parser and read Web Parser Guide to find out more.
