I found out that iftop is a nice option for data monitoring by specific interface.
- You need to run the command with sudo.
- Use the -i flag to choose specific interface.
Example:
```
sudo iftop -i <interface>
```

2.You can use top command to see all the running processes filtered by: - PID - Process id. - USER - user that running the process. - %CPU - the cpu percent the app is using.

You can view these topics for "larger" data usage apps on Ubuntu:
