Dont work comand vnstat -w in vnstat 2.6

[Ser4ph4]

How do I get to see the weekly total in vnstat, the command vnstat -w does not work, can someone help me?

The weekly output and few other features were removed in version 2.0:

• Removed
  • Weekly output
  • Merge of data from multiple interfaces to one output
  • --testkernel
  • --exportdb, use --oneline, --json or --xml instead
  • --importdb, -u / --update and related options using vnstat command
  • Old style (default in versions up to 1.7) summary layout in image output

However, in the 2.x versions, --begin and --end could be used to achieve something similar. As an example, with the command constructed as follow: vnstat -d --begin $(date --date="Monday -2 week" +"%Y-%m-%d") --end $(date --date="Monday -1 week -1 day" (the idea is to use the date command to get the beginning and end of the previous week, or any other time range)

you'd get:

 eth0  /  daily

          day        rx      |     tx      |    total    |   avg. rate

Thanks for the answer, as the call on conky would look like, I currently use the one below:

${color}${font ConkySymbols:size=8}s${font}${color1}├─Network VnStat ${color}${goto 32} ├─Hoje ${goto 110} ─Ontem ${goto 180}─Semana ${goto 270}|─Mês ─|${color green}${font GE Inspira:size=10} ${execi 300 vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 | grep "today" | awk '{print $8" "substr ($9, 1, 1)}'} ${goto 113}${execi 300 vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 | grep "yesterday" | awk '{print $8" "substr ($9, 1, 1)}'} ${goto 10}${execi 300 vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 -w | grep "current week" | awk '{print $9" "substr ($10, 1, 1)}'} ${goto 315}${execi 300 vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 -m | grep "date +"%b '%y"" | awk '{print $9" "substr ($10, 1, 1)}'} ${color1}${goto 35}${stippled_hr}${color}

I don't use Conky but looking at that output you appear to have the following information visible:

• total for today (from summary output)
• total for yesterday (from summary output)
• total for current week (from weekly output)
• total for current month (from monthly output using old version default timestamp)

Most of those can be simplified somewhat to reduce the number of commands that get executed. Here's what you could do with vnStat 2.6:

vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 | grep "today" | awk '{print $8" "substr ($9, 1, 1)}' becomes vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 --oneline | cut -d\; -f4

vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 | grep "yesterday" | awk '{print $8" "substr ($9, 1, 1)}' will have to stay the same as --oneline doesn't have the previous day available and this may be intentionally such that is stays empty if the previous day wasn't monitored.

vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 -w | grep "current week" | awk '{print $9" "substr ($10, 1, 1)}' becomes vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 -d --begin $(date --date="next Monday -1 week" +"%Y-%m-%d") --end $(date +"%Y-%m-%d") | grep "sum of" | awk '{print $10 $11}' with the assumption that your weeks start on Mondays, use the backtick syntax for the date commands if Conky doesn't support the $(command) syntax

vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 -m | grep "date +"%b '%y"" | awk '{print $9" "substr ($10, 1, 1)}' becomes vnstat -i wlp0s29u1u3 --oneline | cut -d\; -f11

Hope this helps (and works).
