# What is vnStat

vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor that uses the network

interface statistics provided by the kernel as information source. This

means that vnStat won't actually be sniffing any traffic and also ensures

light use of system resources regardless of network traffic rate.

By default, traffic statistics are stored on a five minute level for the last

48 hours, on a hourly level for the last 4 days, on a daily level for the

last 2 full months and on a yearly level forever. The data retention durations

are fully user configurable. Total seen traffic and a top days listing is also

provided. Optional image output is available in systems with the GD library

installed.

See the webpage https://humdi.net/vnstat/ for output examples.

# Getting started

vnStat works best when installed. See the INSTALL or INSTALL_BSD file

depending on used operating system. These files contain all needed

information for the installing process. Instructions for upgrading from

a previous version are included in the UPGRADE file. Release notes

can be found from the CHANGES file.
