Net Traffic totals

[sgtevmckay]

Hello folks, it has been awhile since I have posted here

Using the NetIn and NetOut
I can get current measurements of network traffic.
I am looking to acquire traffic totals of both up and down stream

I just tried Cumulative, but this will add up current traffic measures, say for someone who has multiple Cards or wireless connections on their system



This is not what I am looking for

I am looking for a way to return the total of both NetIn and NetOut based on current system run.

ie. Before I shut down my system, I would like to know if I have downloaded 20G and upload 600K or what.

Thoughts???

That is not my understanding of Cumulative=1, but I could be wrong.

My understanding is that is is used to "add up" the values of the NetIn or NetOut or NetTotal measure it is on over time, so on each "Update" of the measure, you get a new "total" that includes all that came before, which seems to me to be just what you want.

I'm not 100% sure exactly how NetStats in Rainmeter.ini factors into this, although I gather those are there to give "persistence" to this until you send a !RainmeterResetStats to it.

Indeed...I would have thought the same, but after experimenting on my desktop here and the laptop, that has three connects, I have determined that Cumulative actually appears to up all live connections.

The following image has been going since initial post (approximately 20 minutes), in that time I just uploaded 33M:



Also: as you can see the Cumulative areas numbers match the current NetIn and NetOut measurements.
So Cumulative is not adding up a continuous total.

It would be nice in the NetIn and NetOut could do this naively, but I am also wondering if there is not a way to derive this total via another plugin measure

Be aware that this will start you off fresh when loaded or refreshed, due to the statement in [Rainmeter]. If you want a real cumulative that is persistent even when you restart, remove that line. Keep in mind though that if you use "themes", persistent stats will be a mess and useless as they are stored in Rainmeter.ini and thus in the "theme".

The only weird thing I see is a big lag for updating of the "cumulative" numbers.

Perfect thanks......

I forgot to enter a statement

Thanks
