Hello!
I hace a bucket mounted via rclone remote to my system. What is the best way to log daily traffic to/from the rclone mount? I have tried activating the rclone log file but it doesn’t log traffic, just low level operations.
Has anybody implemented a solution for this?
--stats* See Global Flags
What are you trying to accomplish? Why do you want to monitor bandwidth?

Which cloud storage provider’s bucket is this ?
Hello @juangalt,
Welcome to the forum!
You may request to put logs to your bucket, however, for the native Storj integration it could be not possible.
The download traffic is related to your OS behavior - it downloads visible files to generate thumbnails.
I would like to suggest to disable the thumbnail generation, when you open a mounted bucket. You can use the --network-mode option in your rclone mount command if you use Windows. Or use the configuration options in your OS to prevent to generate them, like show a list, not tiles and do not generate any previews.
You may also increase the cache TTL with the option --vfs-cache-max-age, see rclone mount for details, then at least it would download files much less frequently.
Hello!
I want to log up/down traffic because this is an important componet of monthly cost. I have noticed that the downloaded traffic is 10x what I would expect, so I want to understand what is generating so much traffic.
I’m using a storj bucket
Thanks for the answer. I will request logs.
When you say it depends on os, I’m using linux+rclone, so I don’t think there is a thumbnail problem. I will play around with the cache too.
It’s still can be, if you use any GUI access.
