Issue with Rx/Tx statistics

[warlock9600]

Hi!
I have installation of wg-access-server in kubernetes with postgres backend.

The statistics of received/transmitted bytes are not working correctly. It seems that when updating data in a multi-replicated installation, the data is not summarized, but overwritten.

Application version: wg-access-server:v0.6.0

Do you have any ideas how to fix this?

Yeah, it just takes the value from WireGuard for each connected peer and shoves it into the database, overwriting what's already there from other instances or before restarts.

Is it important for you that the data is correctly summed?
It is possible to do that, but it requires some work. We'd have to track the stats for each peer internally, then calculate the increase and add it to the value already in the db.

not very important, but I really want this feature.
I would do it myself, but I am very weak in Go.

if necessary, I can help with testing this functionality

By the way, it might be better to use the following algorithm:

• write current statistics to dictionary
• clear locally
• sum the values in the database with the values from the dictionary

To my knowledge WireGuard doesn't allow us to clear or edit the bytes counter, only read it
