I just have a hunch because I gave the user/group that runs the plugin write access to the .pid file and the next time I installed the plugin it worked perfectly after previously giving the same error.
October 6, 20187 yr It's alive. Does not appear to be updating the data but the plugin is now running.

October 6, 20187 yr Just now, MMW said: Spot on working perfectly now. thanks for the plugin. It takes it a bit to start building up numbers. Did you ever have to change permissions on vnstat.pid from the running user/group to write? I want to make sure that the developer has as much feedback as possible for troubleshooting.
October 6, 20187 yr Tried it earlier on so afraid that's 50/50 if it is needed or not, just after the first install.

I want to make sure that the developer has as much feedback as possible for troubleshooting. The daemon runs as root so it should have access to that folder, without changing permissions
October 6, 20187 yr Author All of it came down to trying to copy to the cache drive when it didnt exist, and the order in which I was doing things.
October 6, 20187 yr manually copied from from /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/networkstats/vnstat.conf to /etc/vnstat.conf and it started working. (the b version) then saw the update to c version and still working Thanks!

October 6, 20187 yr @dorganI just uninstalled, did not restart server and installed the new version. It's not working for me yet. I have to enable the vnstat again. I went to the terminal and it looks like there's a new one? I Don't know

October 6, 20187 yr Author mmmm, I'm tech savvy, but I'm not unraid savvy if you can tell me the command I'll gladly appreciate it. cp /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/networkstats/vnstat.conf /etc/vnstat.conf
October 6, 20187 yr 5 minutes ago, dorgan said: cp /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/networkstats/vnstat.conf /etc/vnstat.conf That just did it. You are awesome It's running, now I gotta see if it really works.
October 7, 20187 yr Is there a way to use a different unit of measurement for the rx/tx traffic? Its using KiB/s right now. *Edit* NVM, im dumb..the units change once data starts coming in. Edited October 7, 20187 yr by DazedAndConfused
October 7, 20187 yr The plugin creates the "/mnt/cache/appdata" folder by default (hardcoded?), it should consider using the "Default appdata storage location" setting maybe?
October 7, 20187 yr Author The plugin creates the "/mnt/cache/appdata" folder by default (hardcoded?), it should consider using the "Default appdata storage location" setting maybe? I will work on making this adjustable for the next release.
October 7, 20187 yr 20 hours ago, dorgan said: @MMW does /mnt/user/appdata exist on your system? What are you storing in appdata? If its simply the settings for the plugin (which adapters to monitor), then store it on the flash drive, as that location is a constant on all systems, and is where plugin settings are expected to be stored. 2 hours ago, dorgan said: I will work on making this adjustable for the next release. If you must store within appdata, then your best bet would be the default appdata location that can be found within /boot/config/docker.cfg
October 7, 20187 yr I have the 9/29/2018 version running and then did the 2018.10.06c update. Not the vnstat is no longer running. I did go to the plugin settings and tried to click "Start". No luck. Edited October 7, 20187 yr by Wayne66 Forgot to mention I tried to start vnstat service
