This command gives you access to the underlying data visualized by Network Monitor. You can specify a time range with --begin-date and --end-date or view live statistics with --stream (which can be combined with --begin-date). Output is in CSV format and the first row always represents the field names.

Each row represents statistics over the time interval since the previous row.
