Description

The system_monitor package of Autoware fails to read the network usage. Following is the error message that it returns:

[ERROR] [1724405216.453723643] [net_monitor]: Failed to connect socket. No such file or directory

As I looked further into the code of traffic_reader, which is one of the dependencies of system_monitor, I realized that the socket_path "/tmp/traffic_reader" does not exist. Hence, it cannot connect to it.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any possible solution to this? Thanks.

Expected behavior

The package should be able to connect to the socket and read network usage.

Actual behavior

[ERROR] [1724405224.453356494] [net_monitor]: Failed to connect socket. No such file or directory
