vnstati: Output the 10 most traffic-intensive days of all time.
$ vnstati --top10 --iface ${network_interface} --output ${path-to-output-png}
try on your machine

This command is used to generate a traffic summary report for a particular network interface.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • vnstati: It is the name of the command-line utility used to generate network traffic statistics.
  • --top10: This option specifies that the report should include the top 10 traffic sources or destinations.
  • --iface ${network_interface}: This option specifies the network interface for which the traffic summary report should be generated. You need to replace ${network_interface} with the actual name or ID of the network interface.
  • --output ${path-to-output-png}: This option specifies the output file path and format for the generated report. You need to replace ${path-to-output-png} with the desired path and filename, including the .png extension.

By running this command, you will generate a PNG image file containing a summary report of the top 10 traffic sources or destinations for the specified network interface.
