Network IO meter stops updating after some days
paulo-serrao opened this issue · comments
Hi!
I'm running htop 3.0.5 on Raspberry PI OS (Debian 11.7) kernel 6.1.21+
Network IO meter works fine at the beginning, displaying both RX/TX bytes and packets, but after some days (and some GB's of data transferred), the bytes info stops displaying accurate data, always staying at 0KiB/s (on both RX/TX), while packet data keeps updating properly.
The only thing I can think of is that the number of bytes gets too big and it can no longer do the math between current and previous.
my ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

Does this only happen after htop has been running for a few days or does this also happen if the system has been running for a few days and you start/restart htop in that situation (i.e. does restarting htop "resolve" the issue temporarily)?
Sorry I was not explicit enough, after system running for a couple of days and/or dozens of GB of data going thru the network interface. killing htop and relaunching does not solve it.
NP. Could have been both ways. Thus the question.
Also, did you check with the latest version of htop (3.3.0 or main branch) if this still exists there?
3.0.5 is the latest for my linux distro. I guess I would need to clone and compile myself...
I compiled 3.3.0 and that version works fine. I guess this has already been detected and fixed :)
Thanks @BenBE for the suggestion
