last 24 hours stats, custom output

I don't like the stats reported by vnstat -h. I am not interested in KB/hour. I want average Mb/s. The following command will give those stats...

# vnstat --dumpdb | grep ^h | awk -F ";" '{ print "hour", $2 "-" $2+1,"rx(Mb/s):", $4/3600000*8, "tx(Mb/s):", $5/3600000*8 }'

startup

on redhat and (check point firewalls)

add line

/usr/sbin/vnstatd -d

to

/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local:

scratch

create monitor accounts on destinations configure authorized_keys test account install vncstat / vncstatd add vncstatd to startup


# chown root:monitor /var/lib/vnstat/*
