[SOLVED][Awesome][Widgets] netwidget not working

I have awesome installed and I am trying to get a netwidget that displays up and down in kb.

You can see here that I have a working memory widget, but a non-working netwidget.

Here is the widget from the rc.lua

-- Network Usage Widget
-- Initialize widget
netwidget = wibox.widget.textbox()
-- Register widget
vicious.register(netwidget, vicious.widgets.net, '<span color="#33CCFF">|NET| Down: ${eth0 down_kb}</span>/<span color="#E65105">Up: ${eth0 up_kb}|</span>', 3)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure it is eth0?

Every other install has been eth0. How would I find out if it's the right one or not?

That was it. The eth0 should have been enp3s0. Thanks.
