This is data gkrellm collects as it runs and saves under your ~/.gkrellm2.
For eth0 data, look at the file:

    ~/.gkrellm2/data/net/eth0

If you run an alternate config or client gkrellm, the data dirs change:

   ~/.gkrellm2/data-<configname>/net/eth0
   ~/.gkrellm2/data_S-<servername>/net/eth0

In the source, it's the gkrellm_net_save_data() function in net.c
