User stats in directadmin admin area – Solved with a good client’s help :)

When one of our clients, Mr. Xavier opened an issue with us regarding the Usage stats not being shown, we were certain that this is a bug with DirectAdmin in the way how its license are read. We changed the ethernet_dev in directadmin.conf, but that didn’t work out.

Client was asking us,

In Admin Area –> Complete Usage Statistics –> Usage stats for venet0:0 is showing “None”

It’s possible to fix this to reflect the traffic of this virtual adapter?

DirectAdmin didn’t give a direct solution. Instead provided us with a complete packed files related to DirectAdmin. So the solution was this.

cd /usr/local/directadmin
wget -O new.tar.gz http://files.directadmin.com/7694310/packed_es50.tar.gz
tar xvzf new.tar.gz
./directadmin p
killall -9 directadmin
./directadmin d
/etc/init.d/directadmin restart


For anyone facing this issue. I didn’t check more deeper into what changed, but must be related to htmls in data page on how device gets read.
