ifstat-rs

ifstat-rs is a straightforward and efficient Rust tool to report network interface stats just like ifstat.

Features

Real-time Monitoring: Parses and displays RX and TX bytes for each network interface every second.
Interface Flexibility: Monitor specific interfaces, all interfaces, or just loopback interfaces.
Configurable Updates: Set delays between updates and limit the number of updates.

Supported Platforms

Linux: Fully supported with real-time network statistics from /proc/net/dev.
macOS: Provisions in place, support in development.
Windows: Supported as of v2.0.0.

Installation

To install ifstat-rs, ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed, then run:

cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/ifstat-rs /usr/local/bin/
ifstat-rs --version

Usage

Options

ifstat-rs

-a: Monitor all interfaces.
-l: Include loopback interfaces.
-i <interfaces>: Specify interfaces to monitor, separated by commas (e.g., -i eth0,lo).
--first-measurement <seconds>: Set delay before the first measurement (default is the same as --delay).
<delay>: Delay between updates in seconds (default is 1 second).
<count>: Number of updates before stopping (default is unlimited).

Examples

Monitor specific interfaces:

ifstat-rs -i eth0,wlan1

Monitor all interfaces:

ifstat-rs -a 1 10

Include loopback interfaces:

ifstat-rs -l

Specify delay and count:

ifstat-rs -a --first-measurement 1 60 10

Development

Run the tool with:

cargo run -- -a
