Over 10 GiB/h causes overflow in hourly output in some locales about vnstat

[vergoh]

Could you provide before and after upgrade output examples?

The difference may have something to do with the default locale actually working now where as previously it always defaulted to "C" unless "Locale" had been changed in the configuration file or --locale parameter used.

Yes you might be right. Previously it would output which, looking at it now, is also just a bunch of unreadable numbers. Since the upgrade the thousands-seperator was added; resulting in:

01 52,124,640 42,572,404    09 74,829,409 62,792,939    17 24,508,501 63,374,345

If I could suggest a feature I'd like this to be configurable so I can change it to MiB or GiB

Ok, now I understand the problem. There's indeed a readability issue once you get 10 GiB+ per hour and that's something I haven't tested with any of the outputs. I'll have to implement automatic unit selection also to the hourly output to get this properly solved. The other outputs should be fine up 10 TiB per time period.

The good news is that you can get the old behaviour back simply by changing the configuration from the default

Locale "-"

to

Locale "C"

Yes, you're right. Thanks! If the output could also be updated to address the readability for the hourly output that would be great.

Depends what I can come up with. Trying to fit everything into a 80x24 character terminal does somewhat restrict what can be shown and how.
