Fedora Linux install vnstat network traffic monitor

To install the vnstat network traffic monitor on a Fedora Linux system, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal and update the package manager's package database by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
  1. Install the vnstat package using the "dnf" command:
sudo dnf install vnstat
  1. Start the vnstat daemon using the following command:
sudo systemctl start vnstat
  1. Enable the vnstat daemon to start automatically at boot time using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable vnstat
  1. Use the "vnstat" command to view the network traffic statistics. For example, to view the total traffic for the current month, use the following command:
vnstat
  1. To view the traffic for a specific interface, you can use the "-i" option followed by the interface name. For example, to view the traffic for the "eth0" interface, use the following command:
vnstat -i eth0
  1. You can also use the "vnstati" command to generate a graphical representation of the network traffic. For example, to generate a PNG image of the traffic for the current month, use the following command:
vnstati -m -o /path/to/image.png

Keep in mind that vnstat is a command-line tool, and it does not have a graphical user interface. You can use it to monitor network traffic on your Fedora Linux system, but you may need to use other tools or applications to view the traffic in a more user-friendly way.
