 ## Known limitations
 
 - `vnstati` (image output) command is available as `vnstat.image`
 - `vnstat.image` can't write files due to snap sandbox restriction
   - use `-o - >file.png` as a workaround
+- `sudo snap restart vnstat` is required after changing daemon related configuration options
 - man pages aren't available, use these these instead:
