Thanks, very useful tool.
P.S. On Fedora 14 you need uncomment line in /etc/cron.d/vnstat

Not possible as vnstat reads raw kernel counters and stores them in /var/lib/vnstat/eth0. Try contacting its author and see if he can come with some solution.

any way to whitelist certain destinatons?

australian ISPs enforce a monthly bandwidth quota on consumers. Most good australians ISP also provide larges amounts of locally mirrored data that don’t count towards that monthly quota.

I’d like to white list some IP addresses in order to obtain a report relevant to usage affecting the monthly quota my isp provides me.

Just perfect so far! I haven’t accumulated a lot of stats yet but it seems to be working well!

It is also a real bonus that it operates in the ‘background’, unobtrusive but efficient.

Thanks for the effort and thanks for an excellent tool.

I recomment to look at the vnstat-php-frontend add on. it’s a php interface showing the stats gathered by vnstat.

Also check out bmon. It doesn’t exactly log your traffic to a file, but it does do live graphical/textual representation of it for monitoring. Great for CABLE/DSL boxes.
