Network In for systemmonitor in windows not working

Configuration
#1 
    sensor:
  - platform: systemmonitor
    resources:
      - 
        type: network_in
        arg: wlan0
      - 
        type: network_out
        arg: eth0

I’ve tried this both ways in the config but neither seems to work in windows. Is there another argument I should using or is windows just unsupported?

#2

eth0 and wlan0 are names which are used by Linux. As far as I remember contains Windows a command-line tool netsh to retrieve the names of the available interfaces.

#3

Thanks for the pointer in the right direction, the arg was Local Area Connection

This name can also be pulled from ipconfig in windows

#4

It would be great if you could add this to the documentation of the component.

#5
