Bandwidth usage in Google App Engine

Question

How can I find out how my bandwidth is used in Google App Engine? I want to extract the top bandwidth hogs so I can cut down on my outgoing bandwidth usage.

Answer 1

App engine logs all requests. This includes information about the request (path, query string, wall/cpu/api time, and approximate data transfer out in kb) and the requester (IP address and (if the user is logged in) google account name). You should be able to compute a reasonable estimate based on this information.

You can periodically download your app's logs with appcfg. How often you need to do this will be based on how much traffic your site handles.
