3. Configuration
|
1 2 3 |
sudo vi /etc/vnstat.conf |
|
1 2 3 |
Interface "enp0s31f6" => Interface "eth0" |
4. A new database create / vnstat –create -i eth0
|
1 2 3 |
$ vnstat --create -i eth0 |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
$ vnstat -d No database found, nothing to do. Use --help for help. A new database can be created with the following command: vnstat --create -i eth0 Replace 'eth0' with the interface that should be monitored. The following interfaces are currently available: eth0 lo $ vnstat --create -i eth0 |
5. Now, make vnstat daemon auto start at boot
|
1 2 3 4 |
sudo systemctl start vnstat.service sudo systemctl enable vnstat.service |
6. check / vnstat -h
