Summary:
Fails to add interface =>
vnstat fails to add interface Thank you for the report. This is in the same field as bug 25417 (resolved by version 0.27 of net_monitor); not the same problem, but please look at it. Since this new bug is for Cauldron, you will have the latest updates of everything. vnstat has no registered maintainer, so assigning to DavidG as the main recent one. CC'ing Zezinho in case he has an opinion. Assignee:

geiger.david68210 It appears that this is a limitation of current vnstat : it does not add dynamically the new interfaces if the database already exists. As workaround, this can be done manually as root : vnstat --add -i wlp0s29u1u4 systemctl restart vnstat.service Then the traffic starts being accounted. Of course, it would be nice if mageia tools did this automagically, so I keep the bug as possible enhancement. Assignee:

From man vnstat.conf ... Interface Default interface used when no other interface is specified on the command line. Leave empty for automatic selection. The automatic selection will prioritize the interface with most traffic for outputs doing database queries. Queries not us‐ ing the database will first check if the database is avail‐ able and select the interface with most traffic out those that are currently visible in the system. If no database can be read then the first available interface will be used. (vn‐ stat and vnstati only) ...
