# Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats(3pm)

Collect linux net statistics.

## NAME

Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats - Collect linux net statistics.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats;
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new;
    $lxs->init;
    sleep 1;
    my $stat = $lxs->get;
```

Or

```
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(initfile => $file);
    $lxs->init;
    my $stat = $lxs->get;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats gathers net statistics from the virtual */proc* filesystem (procfs).

For more information read the documentation of the front-end module Sys::Statistics::Linux.

## NET STATISTICS

Generated by */proc/net/dev*.

```
    rxbyt    -  Number of bytes received per second.
    rxpcks   -  Number of packets received per second.
    rxerrs   -  Number of errors that happend while received packets per second.
    rxdrop   -  Number of packets that were dropped per second.
    rxfifo   -  Number of FIFO overruns that happend on received packets per second.
    rxframe  -  Number of carrier errors that happend on received packets per second.
    rxcompr  -  Number of compressed packets received per second.
    rxmulti  -  Number of multicast packets received per second.
    txbyt    -  Number of bytes transmitted per second.
    txpcks   -  Number of packets transmitted per second.
    txerrs   -  Number of errors that happend while transmitting packets per second.
    txdrop   -  Number of packets that were dropped per second.
    txfifo   -  Number of FIFO overruns that happend on transmitted packets per second.
    txcolls  -  Number of collisions that were detected per second.
    txcarr   -  Number of carrier errors that happend on transmitted packets per second.
    txcompr  -  Number of compressed packets transmitted per second.
    ttpcks   -  Number of total packets (received + transmitted) per second.
    ttbyt    -  Number of total bytes (received + transmitted) per second.
```

## METHODS

### new()

Call `"new()"` to create a new object.

```
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new;
```

Maybe you want to store/load the initial statistics to/from a file:

```
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(initfile => '/tmp/netstats.yml');
```

If you set `"initfile"` it's not necessary to call sleep before `"get()"`.

It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.

```
     Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(
        files => {
            # This is the default
            path   => '/proc',
            netdev => 'net/dev',
        }
    );
```

### init()

Call `"init()"` to initialize the statistics.

```
    $lxs->init;
```

### get()

Call `"get()"` to get the statistics. `"get()"` returns the statistics as a hash reference.

```
    my $stat = $lxs->get;
```

### raw()

The same as **get\_raw()** but it's not necessary to call **init()** first.

### get\_raw()

Call `"get_raw()"` to get the raw data - no deltas.
