Network Stats (listVirtualMachines ) and Network Usage (listUsageRecords) are two different entities.
The former is run time stats received from the hypervisor and isn't stored or used by cloudstack. The latter is raw CCP usage and as you mentioned, gathered via iptables on VR and only captures traffic on public interface. -----Original Message----- From: Logan Barfield [mailto:lbarfi...@tqhosting.com] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2014 3:20 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Network Traffic Statistics Just a quick question about traffic statistics. Currently there appear to be two ways to pull network statistics in an advanced zone: - listVirtualMachines -> Returns networkkbsread & networkkbswrite - listUsageRecords -> Type 4: Bytes sent -> Type 5: Bytes received I assume both of these list the aggregate network traffic for each VM (both public and between VMs on the same network). My question is: Is there currently a way via CloudStack to pull only the public network traffic for a given network (incoming and outgoing)? The statistics gathering seems to use the NETWORK_STATS IPtables entries on the VR, so I would think it could pull the traffic for just the public interface. Even better would be to pull the traffic for each public IP, but that would be a bit more difficult I assume. Thank You, Logan Barfield Tranquil Hosting
