Note: This repo can be found on npm here: net-stat

Note: This repo can be found on github here: node-net-stat

Caveat: Works by parsing /proc/net/dev, so will only work on nix OS.

Install

npm install net-stat

Examples

Require the module:

var netStat = require('net-stat');

By default totalRx() returns total received bytes for interface lo:

var totalrx = netStat.totalRx();
console.log(totalrx);

Return total received GiB on interface eth0, see docs below for accepted values of units and iface:

var totalrx = netStat.totalRx({ iface: 'eth0', units: 'GiB' });
console.log(totalrx);

Display the transmitted KiB per second of eth0 over the next 2000ms:

setInterval(function() {
  netStat.usageTx({
    iface: 'eth0',
    units: 'KiB',
    sampleMs: 2000,
  }, function(kbps) {
    console.log('Transmitted ' + kbps + ' kb/s');
  });
}, 2500);

Get all fields available from /proc/net/dev, useful for finding accepted values of iface:

var allStats = netStat.raw();
console.log(allStats);

totalRx([opts])

Returns a number representing the number of units received on iface.

Option Type Default Explanation
opts Object see below Options object, specify what you need, the defaults will be filled in
opts.iface String 'lo' The name of the interface to be used. See the raw() function for a list of interfaces.
opts.units String 'bytes' The units of the returned value, can be one of bytes, KiB, MiB or GiB.

totalTx([opts])

Returns a number representing the number of units transmitted on iface.

Option Type Default Explanation
opts Object see below Options object, specify what you need, the defaults will be filled in
opts.iface String 'lo' The name of the interface to be used. See the raw() function for a list of interfaces.
opts.units String 'bytes' The units of the returned value, can be one of bytes, KiB, MiB or GiB.

usageRx([opts,] cb)

Async function which returns data, the usage received per second in units on iface over sampleMs

Option Type Default Explanation
opts Object see below Options object, specify what you need, the defaults will be filled in
opts.iface String 'lo' The name of the interface to be used. See the raw() function for a list of interfaces.
opts.units String 'bytes' The units of the returned value, can be one of bytes, KiB, MiB or GiB.
opts.sampleMs Number 1000 The number of milliseconds to take a usage sample over.
cb Function none A callback function with signature cb(data) where data is the usage received per second in units on iface over sampleMs.

usageTx([opts,] cb)

Async function which returns data, the usage transmitted per second in units on iface over sampleMs

Option Type Default Explanation
opts Object see below Options object, specify what you need, the defaults will be filled in
opts.iface String 'lo' The name of the interface to be used. See the raw() function for a list of interfaces.
opts.units String 'bytes' The units of the returned value, can be one of bytes, KiB, MiB or GiB.
opts.sampleMs Number 1000 The number of milliseconds to take a usage sample over.
cb Function none A callback function with signature cb(data) where data is the usage transmitted per second in units on iface over sampleMs.

raw()

Returns an object representing the data in /proc/net/dev.
