This is one of the apps caught in the weird problems with the appfeed in community applications.  Until the next release of CA and it's replacement application feed (next few days), it is unavailable from within CA.

[Squid]

Available now (if you update CA).  But, It won't start the service for me.  Always shows stopped.

Reboot should not be required. Let me dig in a little more tomorrow night.

[dukiethecorgi]

Not starting for me either 😞

[dorgan]

Not starting for me either [emoji20]

I have identified the problem and will release a fix tonight.

[dukiethecorgi]

Thanks!

[gacpac]

I was gonna say. I'll wait for the next release then

[dorgan]

@gacpac @dukiethecorgi @Squid  Update released.  Thanks for sticking with me.

[moraleseder]

So I have updated the plugin but unfortunately, it is still not starting for me :/

[dorgan]

So I have updated the plugin but unfortunately, it is still not starting for me

And what about if you go into the setting and click start?

[moraleseder]

I tried that and no luck. I tried to remove the plug in and reinstall, I tried to reboot. No luck

[dorgan]

I tried that and no luck. I tried to remove the plug in and reinstall, I tried to reboot. No luck

And what happens when you go into settings?

[austinite]

 

Same issue. Details:

Plugins | Network Stats

Network Stats Settings

Interfaces to capture :  (ALL) eth0 eth1 (ALL)

VNSTAT Daemon: Stopped start (clicking start does nothing)

Stats | Network Stats:

vnstat service must berunning started to view network stats.

 

[dorgan]

 

Same issue.

 

What version of unRaid are you running?

 

Also if you run

/etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat start

from the terminal what is the output you get?

SAME HERE 😮

[dorgan]

Ok maybe I need to double check how the page is detecting if the daemon is running. I’ll take a look.

[dukiethecorgi]

OK installed the update, still not working, but /etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat start says it is running

 

 

[dorgan]

@dukiethecorgi @gacpac  @FlorinB can either of you run the following in the terminal?  Also what versions of unRaid are you running?

 

cd /var/run
find . | grep vnstat.pid

 

[dukiethecorgi]

Here you go

[dorgan]

Here you go

Ok there in lies the problem. Mine is /var/run/vnstat/vnstat.pid.

I’ll release an update tomorrow night that detects either or.
