DESCRIPTION
The purpose of
vnstati
is to provide image output support for statistics collected using
vnstat(1).
The image file format is limited to png. All basic outputs
of vnStat are supported excluding live traffic features. The image
can be outputted either to a file or to standard output.
OPTIONS
- -s, --summary
-
Output traffic summary.
- -hs, --hsummary
-
Output traffic summary including hourly data using a horizontal layout.
- -vs, --vsummary
-
Output traffic summary including hourly data using a vertical layout.
- -d, --days
-
Output traffic for days.
- -h, --hours
-
Output traffic for the last 24 hours.
- -m, --months
-
Output traffic for months.
- -t, --top10
-
Output all time top10 traffic days.
- -ne, --noedge
-
Remove darker edges from around the image.
- -nh, --noheader
-
Remove header containing title and update time. Time of the previous update
will still be visible in the lower right corner using a less visible color.
- -ru, --rateunit
-
Swap the configured rate unit. If rate has been configured to be shown in
bytes then rate will be shown in bits if this option is present. In the same
way, if rate has been configured to be shown in bits then rate will be shown
in bytes when this option is present. Alternatively 0 or 1 can be given as
parameter for this option in order to select between bytes (0) and bits
(1) regardless of the configuration file setting.
- --style number
-
Modify the content and style of outputs. Setting
number
to 3 will show average traffic rate in all outputs where it is supported.
Other values will show bar graphics instead.
- --transparent
-
Toggle background color transparency depending of the TransparentBg setting
in the configuration file. Alternatively 0 or 1 can be given as parameter
for this option in order to either disable (0) or enable (1) transparency
regardless of the configuration file setting.
- -o, --output file
-
Write png image to
file
and exit. Output can be directed to stdout by giving "-" as filename.
- -c, --cache time
-
Update output file only if at least
time
minutes have passed since the previous file update. This option is ignored if
stdout is used as output.
- -i, --iface interface
-
Use
interface
instead of default or configured interface.
- --config file
-
Use
file
as config file instead of using normal config file search function.
- --dbdir directory
-
Use
directory
as database directory instead of using the directory specified in the configuration
file or the hardcoded default if no configuration file is available.
- --locale locale
-
Use
locale
instead of using the locale setting specified in the configuration file or the system
default if no configuration file is available.
- -?, --help
-
Show a command summary.
- -v, --version
-
