Rumor has it but I fail to see why Valve would even be of any interest to Google…

I was troubleshooting an issue with a Linux machine and I needed to look at all aspects of the issue. That meant looking at the NIC activity on the particular machine. I didn’t want to spend too much time installing SNMP agents to gather statistics.

Enter vnStat! This awesome tool is installed under one minute and allowed me to do exactly what I needed. The beauty of vnStat is that you can do live monitoring on the host using the following:

$ vnstat -l

The great part about this tool is that it’ll sample the traffic for 5 seconds and calculate the traffic for that moment:

$ vnstat -tr

rx           1.28 kB/s              9 packets/s
tx           0.81 kB/s              9 packets/s
