BandwidthD not saving data?
-
I installed the bandwidthD package this morning and started to monitor data for each IP. One computer downloaded a 2GB Linux ISO, which I then saw the data on bandwidthD daily traffic table. About 2 hours later, I installed Status_Traffic_Totals package. When I went back to bandwidthD, the totals seemed to have reset. Did installing Status_Traffic_Totals package somehow reset bandwidthD or could this be something else? Any ideas what happen?

@pulsartiger Did you restart? There's an option in the bandwidthd settings somewhere to "load data from CSV" or something like that, to load it on boot.
I've also found it doesn't seem to survive if you are using a RAM disk. and restart, though haven't bothered looking into that much.

Thanks, I didn't have that setting checked. I do have another question, maybe you can help. I am monitoring the IP address of my Amazon Firestick. Ive been watching Youtube for the past 2 hours and BandwidthD only shows 8 MB sent, 52 MB received. Streaming 1080p for 2 hours should have logged much more data than that. Any ideas why it didn't?

@pulsartiger I maybe wrong, but I don't believe BandwidthD tracks IPV6 traffic. Do you have IPV6 enabled?
-
my IPv6 Configure Type is set to 'Track Interface'.

@pulsartiger That is probably why you didn't see much traffic when you were watching Youtube. Youtube uses IPV6 if available. I don't believe BandwidthD can currently track IPv6 traffic.
