Hi,
I need to find out how much down-/upload I use (to know what mobile contract to choose).
Googling pointed me to a program named vnstat, but that exists only for ubuntu (or to be compiled from source, which is "too much" for me).
Is there something like that or a simple way to find out for OS 13.2 available somewhere, ready to install and use? I just need simple numbers: how much did I download and upload from/to internet on this single machine per day.
thanks for your help.
Daniel Hi The vnstat package is available in the server:monitoring repository.
Does your current ISP provide a statistics page on daily/monthly data usage? Does you router provide stats (snmp?) Are there other systems on your network, consider normal chatter between systems will show on your local interface. As a ball park indicator, use (since your on 13.2) ifconfig to see data in/out eg; /sbin/ifconfig eth0 RX bytes:3388942197 (3231.9 Mb) TX bytes:222123990 (211.8 Mb) Pick a time and check manually and make a note... -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° LFCS, SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1|GNOME 3.10.4|3.12.51-60.20-default up 3 days 23:36, 7 users, load average: 0.21, 0.23, 0.30 CPU AMD A4-5150M @ 2.70GHz | GPU Radeon HD 8350G -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
