+When set to I<false>, only interfaces with non-zero traffic will be
+reported. Note that the check is done by looking into whether a
+package was sent at any time from boot and the corresponding counter
+is non-zero. So, if the interface has been sending data in the past
+since boot, but not during the reported time-interval, it will still
+be reported.
+
+The default value is I<true> and results in collection of the data
+from all interfaces that are selected by B<Interface> and
+B<IgnoreSelected> options.
