| Summary: Network Traffic Monitor | |
vnStat is a network traffic monitor for Linux that keeps a log of daily network traffic for the selected interface(s). vnStat isn't a packet sniffer. The traffic information is analyzed from the /proc filesystem, so vnStat can be used without root permissions.

* Thu Dec 08 2022 Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.com>
- Drop vnstat-if.sh, the used options are not supported anymore by
vnstat and only create error messages
* Sat Oct 22 2022 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 2.10:
Fixed
* Image output of 5 minute graph wasn't possible if data
retention of the 5 minute time period was configured as
unlimited.
* Estimates and average rates weren't calculated correctly for
daily, monthly and yearly time periods when monitoring of the
interface had been started during the ongoing time period.
* Estimates weren't being shown in summary output when
OutputStyle or --style was configured with a value less than 2.
* Alignment of column header in short output wasn't correct when
OutputStyle or --style was configured with the value 0 (vnstat)
New
* Support input of more than 31 characters in interface name when
using interface1+interface2 syntax data merge queries.
* Support passing --config option multiple times, later files
override earlier files if settings overlap (vnstat and vnstati)
* Add configuration option EstimateVisible for controlling the
visibility of the estimate line.
* Add configuration option EstimateText for modifying the default
"estimated" text string when the estimate line is visible.
* Add --style support to -tr / --traffic output.
* Add summary option to --json and --xml outputs.
* Add timestamps to --json and --xml outputs.
* Add Prometheus compatible metrics endpoint cgi to examples.
(examples/vnstat-metrics.cgi)
* Mon Jan 24 2022 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 2.9:
* RescanDatabaseOnSave configuration option wasn't being read from the
configuration file resulting in the feature always being enabled
* Hourly graph image output using large fonts didn't correctly fade out
the x-axis line for hours not having data available
* Add --alert for producing output and/or specific exit status when
configured condition and transfer limit is exceeded, can also be used
for "quota remaining" type of queries depending on used parameters
* Add configuration option InterfaceMatchMethod which allows configuring
the possibility of specifying an interface for database queries by using
its alias instead of system provided interface name, enabled by default
to support case insensitive matching of the beginning of interface
aliases (vnstat and vnstati)
* Image output file extension allows selecting the used image file format
as long as the used LibGD supports it, PNG is no longer the only option
* Add configuration option HourlyGraphMode for changing the output mode
of the graph, 0 = 24 hour sliding window (default, as in previous
releases), 1 = graph begins from midnight
* Add mode parameter for -hg / --hoursgraph options for overriding the
HourlyGraphMode configuration option setting from the command line
* Add vertical line to image output hourly graph to visualize midnight

- update to 2.8:
- Using a combination of --live and --json wasn't flushing stdout after
each line resulting in buffered output if the output was being piped
- Image output would fail to show the last line bar graph in list outputs
if EstimateStyle was 0, BarColumnShowsRate was 1 and the last line had a
higher traffic rate than other lines
- Image output didn't correctly horizontally align the "no data available"
message in 5 minute graph depending on the width of the image
- Image output related configuration warnings could get shown when image
output wasn't being used
- Warnings of mismatches between image output and data retention
configuration didn't provide relevant details for solving the issues
- BandwidthDetection was being used for tun interfaces even when the
Linux kernel had the information hardcoded to 10 Mbit regardless of the
used real interface, interface specific MaxBW will now be used instead
or MaxBandwidth as fallback
- Configured interface specific MaxBW values were getting overridden by
BandwidthDetection when something could be detected
- Image output horizontal rx/tx bars often had one pixel too much width in
the tx section resulting in slightly wrong ratio getting shown
- Top days list wasn't always sorting entries with exactly the same traffic
sum using ascending date
- 64bitInterfaceCounters with value -2 always assumed 32-bit on Linux
systems until a 64-bit value was seen if kernel headers weren't available
when binaries were built
- Add the possibility of specifying an interface without using the
- i / --iface options (vnstat and vnstati)
- The daemon can discover added interfaces from the database without
requiring a restart, configurable with option RescanDatabaseOnSave
- Add configuration option UseUTC for using UTC as timezone for database
entries instead of following the system timezone configuration
- --iflist uses user configured interface specific MaxBW values in the
output when available instead of showing only the kernel provided
information when detected
- Add configuration option AlwaysAddNewInterfaces to expose the daemon
- -alwaysadd command line option which gains an optional mode parameter
- Image output uses LibGD filled arc bug workaround only for LibGD
versions that are known to be broken
- Image output example cgi (examples/vnstat.cgi) improvements
- Automatically lists all monitored interfaces instead of requiring the
list to be filled manually, server name in page title comes from
hostname command by default
- Provides links for most available images to more detailed or longer
versions of each image
- Allows direct interface specific page access with /interfacename suffix
for the cgi if the used httpd supports PATH_INFO
- Page auto refresh can be enabled with configurable interval

separator instead of a single character.
New
* Add -5g / --fivegraph options to image output with sizing
related parameters for the output of a 5 minute resolution bar
graph
* Add configuration option SummaryGraph and optional parameter

summary image outputs.
* Add --large / --small options and configuration option
LargeFonts for controlling the image output font size.
* Add --scale and configuration option ImageScale for scaling the
image output to a given percent.

without having the daemon process staying running, doesn't
discard data if a database already exists.
* Add configuration option BarColumnShowsRate for having the bar
column in image list outputs be scaled according to the average
rate column values when those values are visible, disabled by
default.
* Add --dbiflist for getting a list of interfaces in the
database, both --iflist and --dbiflist also get alternative
more parseable outputs.
* Add configuration option for large font output and make 5
minute resolution graph visible in "vnstat.cgi".
* Thu Oct 01 2020 Peter Varkoly <varkoly@suse.com>
- Adapt mod_authz_host parameter instead of deprecated mod_access_compat
parametere.

existed but didn't yet contain any daily or monthly data for
the selected interface
New
* Add --limit as an alternative way for controlling the length
of outputs
* Tue Jan 14 2020 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 2.5
Fixed
* Automatic interface selection wasn't done for --traffic and
- -live when the Interface configuration setting was left empty
* --setalias didn't do anything when used in combination
with --add
* -l / --live and -tr default to first interface instead of
producing an error if a interface merge is requested
* Mon Aug 26 2019 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>
- Update to version 2.4
Fixed
* Daemon didn't correctly wait when acquiring database lock for
data write which could result in unnecessary errors and even
process exit if an external database read operation had exactly
the same timing as the daemon write operation
* Move vnstatd man page from section 1 to section 8
New
* Add --rename for renaming interfaces already existing the
database
* Wed Jul 10 2019 Martin Hauke <mardnh@gmx.de>

Fixed
* Traffic rate wasn't being shown for the last entry of most lists
during the first update of the next period (first SaveInterval
minutes of each new hour, day, month and year)
* Systemd example service file could result in database file write
issues if the used systemd version supported ProtectSystem=strict
but didn't support StateDirectory
* Interfaces could end up staying marked as 'disabled' in the
database even after becoming back active and monitored, only the
shown status was wrong without resulting in any data loss
* Some image outputs didn't allocate enough height for the image
resulting in the last row having less space below it than intended
New
* Automatic interface selection when the Interface configuration
setting is left empty (new default)
* Add configuration option DatabaseWriteAheadLogging to enable
SQLite Write-Ahead Logging mode which may provide some disk i/o
benefits, see https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html for more details and
note that SQLite 3.22.0 or later is required to support read-only
operations
* Add configuration option DatabaseSynchronous for changing the
SQLite setting of the "synchronous" flag, see
https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_synchronous for more
details
