DESCRIPTION

       The purpose of vnstati is to provide image output support for statistics  collected  using
       vnstat(1).   The  image  file  format  is  limited to png. All basic outputs of vnStat are
       supported excluding live traffic features. The image can be outputted either to a file  or
       to standard output.

OPTIONS

       --altdate
              Use  alternative  date and time text location. The date and time text will be moved
              from the upper right header section to the lower left corner. This option will have
              no effect if -nh, --noheader has been selected.

       -c, --cache time
              Update  output  file  only  if at least time minutes have passed since the previous
              file update. This option is ignored if stdout is used as output.

       --config file
              Use file as configuration file instead of using normal  configuration  file  search
              functionality.

       -d, --days
              Output traffic statistics on a daily basis for the last 30 days.

       --dbdir directory
              Use directory as database directory instead of using the directory specified in the
              configuration file or the hardcoded default if no configuration file is available.

       --headertext text
              Show text in image header section  instead  of  automatically  generated  interface
              identification.   text is limited to 64 characters and may not get completely shown
              if longer than the width of the image. Use  with  --altdate  if  maximal  space  is
              needed. This option will have no effect if -nh, --noheader has been selected.

       -h, --hours
              Output traffic statistics on a hourly basis for the last 24 hours.

       -hs, --hsummary
              Output traffic summary including hourly data using a horizontal layout.

       -i, --iface interface
              Use interface instead of default or configured interface.

       --locale locale
              Use  locale instead of using the locale setting specified in the configuration file
              or the system default if no configuration file is available.

       -m, --months
              Output traffic statistics on a monthly basis for the last 12 months.

       -ne, --noedge
              Remove darker edges from around the image.

       -nh, --noheader
              Remove header containing title and update time. Time of the  previous  update  will
              still be visible in the lower right corner using a less visible color.

       -nl, --nolegend
              Remove legend containing rx and tx color mapping information from the image.

       -o, --output file
              Write png image to file and exit. Output can be directed to stdout by giving "-" as
              filename.

       -ru, --rateunit
              Change the configured rate unit. If rate has been configured to be shown  in  bytes
              then rate will be shown in bits if this option is present. In the same way, if rate
              has been configured to be shown in bits then rate will be shown in bytes when  this
              option  is  present. Alternatively 0 or 1 can be given as parameter for this option
              in order to select between bytes (0) and bits (1) regardless of  the  configuration
              file setting.

       --style number
              Modify  the  content  and  style  of outputs. Setting number to 3 will show average
              traffic rate in all outputs where it is supported.   Other  values  will  show  bar
              graphics instead.

       -s, --summary
              Output traffic statistics summary.

       -t, --top10
              Output all time top 10 traffic days.

       --transparent
              Toggle  background color transparency depending of the TransparentBg setting in the
              configuration file. Alternatively 0 or 1 can be given as parameter for this  option
              in  order  to  either  disable  (0)  or  enable  (1) transparency regardless of the
              configuration file setting.

       -v, --version
              Show current version.

       -vs, --vsummary
              Output traffic summary including hourly data using a vertical layout.

       -?, --help
              Show a command option summary.

FILES

       /var/lib/vnstat/
              Default database directory. Files are named according to the monitored interfaces.

       /etc/vnstat.conf
              Config file that will be used unless $HOME/.vnstatrc exists. See vnstat.conf(5) for
              more information.

EXAMPLES

       vnstati -s -i eth0 -o /tmp/vnstat.png
              Output traffic summary for interface eth0 to file /tmp/vnstat.png.

       vnstati -vs -i eth0+eth1+eth2 -o /tmp/vnstat.png
              Output  traffic  summary  with  hourly data under the normal summary for a merge of
              interfaces eth0, eth1 and eth2 to file /tmp/vnstat.png.

       vnstati -h -c 15 -o /tmp/vnstat_h.png
              Output hourly traffic statistics for default interface to file /tmp/vnstat_h.png if
              the file has not been updated within the last 15 minutes.

       vnstati -d -ne -nh -o -
              Output daily traffic statistics without displaying the header section and edges for
              default interface to standard output (stdout).

       vnstati -m --config /home/me/vnstat.cfg -i -o -
              Output monthly traffic statistics for default interface specified in  configuration
              file /home/me/vnstat.cfg to standard output (stdout).

RESTRICTIONS

       Depending  on  the  font  provided  by the GD library, not all characters may end up shown
       correctly when a UTF-8 locale is used.
