#### Network monitor — every device, every connection, every program

jsNetMonitor shows the traffic of every network connection of your computer
live — cable, Wi-Fi, mobile, bundled connections, bridges, VLANs and VPN
tunnels — in the look of a studio rack.

* Download and upload of each device, as smooth curves and level meters
* Which program uses the network, and how much
* Every connection with remote host, country, service, state, speed and latency
* Where your traffic goes: destinations and countries at a glance
* Your total traffic over minutes, hours, a week, a month or a whole year
* Traffic per day and month, kept across restarts
* The network chip, its driver, firmware and link details
* A small minimal view that stays on top
* Arrange the device units as you like — the layout is remembered
* Lists you can sort, widen and trim to the columns you need
* Light and dark, in 83 languages

To see connections, programs and hardware details, paste this one line into
a terminal and press Enter, then restart jsNetMonitor:

sudo sh -c 'for i in network-observe system-observe hardware-observe; do snap connect jsnetmonitor:$i; done'

Keywords: network monitor, bandwidth, traffic, connections, netstat,
network speed, ethernet, wifi, vpn, data usage

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install jsNetMonitor

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:

```

sudo apt install snapd
```
