Complete usage traffic stats broken

[kanix]

Hi there, I cant seem to get any recv/xfer total stats for my machine.. it came set as 'lo:1' as the interface it is monitoring which is simply a loopback extra ip, im guessing I need it to be monitoring eth0 instead which is my physical network interface.

However, when I change directadmin.conf and put in eth0 instead of lo:1, DA fails to load. I get [OK] confirmation from 'service directadmin restart' but it doesn't actually load the service and there doesn't seem to be error logs.

Anyone got any idea?

Thanks!

What Operating System are you running?

Are you sure your real network device is eth0 ?

Try running this command and see what it shows

/usr/bin/netstat -f inet -b -I [b]ethernet_device[/b]

Fedora Core 2, -f seems to be an invalid option in my netstat

eth0 looks as it is definately the real interface though since with ifconfig this is the one which is showing all the traffic .. ie 'RX bytes:71705719 (68.3 Mb) TX bytes:32563487 (31.0 Mb)'. Yes this is a pretty new server with not much traffic yet
