Re: My bandwidth monitoring solution....

Thanks for the guide!

I updated the /etc/vnstat.conf as follows:

DatabaseDir "/var/log/vnstat"

Then I try restarting the service:

sudo service vnstat restart

I get the following response:

[ ok ] Stopping vnStat daemon: vnstatd.
[....] Starting vnStat daemon: vnstatdError: Unable to open database directory "/var/log/vnstat".
Make sure it exists and is at least read enabled for current user.
Exiting...
 failed!

So I made the directory and now the service starts up fine.

But I'm worried that since I'm using tmpfs, on reboot it'll fail again? Am I missing something?
