Re: [DISCUSS] Export Virtual Router Statistics to Users
+1 At work we're discussing a new RRD framework feature that would expand on the metrics feature of various resources which would include (possibly in future) metrics of VRs too. I suppose, just like VM stats you would want to capture VR stats plus something extra (like active connection, VR firewall state/metrics, network bandwidth etc). However, in current implementation the "user" roles/accounts can't see VRs, only admins. Some of the VR metrics are indeed implemented currently already but not expose via APIs (for example network bandwidth from VRs is used for usage data generation for networks). Regards.

[DISCUSS] Export Virtual Router Statistics to Users
Hey there, We want to improve virtual router statistic visibility. One option that pops into my mind is to export some statistics in router VM in Prometheus format and let our customers do what they like with those data. It enabled our customers to find packet loss, memory usage, etc. Based on these data, they can create their alert and dashboard. If we implement this feature, is this going to merge into upstream? Another option is to have these data visible in cloudstack dashboard in some graph directly. Please let me know if you have a better solution to address this issue?
