NAME

Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats - Collect linux net statistics.

SYNOPSIS

use Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats;

my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new;
$lxs->init;
sleep 1;
my $stat = $lxs->get;

Or

my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(initfile => $file);
$lxs->init;
my $stat = $lxs->get;

DESCRIPTION

Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats gathers net statistics from the virtual /proc filesystem (procfs).

For more information read the documentation of the front-end module Sys::Statistics::Linux.

NET STATISTICS

Generated by /proc/net/dev.

rxbyt    -  Number of bytes received per second.
rxpcks   -  Number of packets received per second.
rxerrs   -  Number of errors that happend while received packets per second.
rxdrop   -  Number of packets that were dropped per second.
rxfifo   -  Number of FIFO overruns that happend on received packets per second.
rxframe  -  Number of carrier errors that happend on received packets per second.
rxcompr  -  Number of compressed packets received per second.
rxmulti  -  Number of multicast packets received per second.
txbyt    -  Number of bytes transmitted per second.
txpcks   -  Number of packets transmitted per second.
txerrs   -  Number of errors that happend while transmitting packets per second.
txdrop   -  Number of packets that were dropped per second.
txfifo   -  Number of FIFO overruns that happend on transmitted packets per second.
txcolls  -  Number of collisions that were detected per second.
txcarr   -  Number of carrier errors that happend on transmitted packets per second.
txcompr  -  Number of compressed packets transmitted per second.
ttpcks   -  Number of total packets (received + transmitted) per second.
ttbyt    -  Number of total bytes (received + transmitted) per second.

METHODS

new()

Call new() to create a new object.

my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new;

Maybe you want to store/load the initial statistics to/from a file:

my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(initfile => '/tmp/netstats.yml');

If you set initfile it's not necessary to call sleep before get().

It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.

 Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(
    files => {
        # This is the default
        path   => '/proc',
        netdev => 'net/dev',
    }
);

init()

Call init() to initialize the statistics.

$lxs->init;

get()

Call get() to get the statistics. get() returns the statistics as a hash reference.

my $stat = $lxs->get;

raw()

The same as get_raw() but it's not necessary to call init() first.

get_raw()

Call get_raw() to get the raw data - no deltas.

EXPORTS

No exports.
