multi_server_stats
Bash script that gathers hourly average traffic statistics (outgoing) from multiple servers and sends it to Telegram using bot.
Install & Configure
Telegram channel and bot
Create bot and copy token (xxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx). Add bot as admin to some designated channel where you participate and where you want to send statistics (or create one). Send test message from your telegram account in that channel. Go to https://api.telegram.org/botxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx/getUpdates and copy chat id from JSON entry for test message (look into the end of that JSON).
Servers for monitoring:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vnstat openssh-server
