Sorry if this is a super beginner question, I just need clarification.  
How do make sure nyx actually tracks _my_ bridge? If I run it at the same time as tor, with

```auto
ControlPort 9051
CookieAuthentication 1

```

in my torrc file, it just says relaying disabled (despite still having upload and download graphs).

Nyx can only track your bridge, unless in your nyx config you’ve added someone else’s bridge, which would have to be intentional. But yes, the snippet you’ve included for your torrc seems about right, though I use password authentication
