RE: [Xen-users] domU network interface not reporting bandwidth usage

["Dustin Henning" <Dustin.Henning@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

        Does this work on your other domains?  That may be implied, but I
wanted to confirm, because I have noticed in F8 with Xen from repo, the xm
top command doesn't show network traffic if using vifname, but does when the
default vifX.Y is used.  I should think that would be related to xm top
checking for vifX.Y and not vifname (F8  uses a version of Xen where vifname
would have to have been patched in), but if that weren't the case, and it
were somehow related to using vifname, that would be interesting.

Subject: [Xen-users] domU network interface not reporting bandwidth usage

Hi all

I don't know how to explain this, but one of my domU's doesn't show much
network traffic it's used. 

We use Cacti for bandwidth monitoring, and rely on the
network interface's names for it to work. So,I give each network interface a
unique name, in the config files as follows:


[root@saturn ~]# more /etc/xen/wiseguy
name = "wiseguy"
uuid = "72feda9a-5755-0295-bf63-dcbc18445634"
maxmem = 512
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
vfb = [  ]
disk = [ "phy:/dev/System/wiseguy,xvda,w" ]
vif  = ['ip=1.2.3.4, vifname=vifwise0,  mac=00:16:3e:19:17:50 ']


The domU has been running for about 8 hours now, yet I cannot get the
traffic stats from it. Is there something else I should do as well?
