How to measure vm's bandwidth usage?

Posted by hamini, 03-28-2016, 09:18 AM
Hi, I have a question. I want to know how to measure each vm's bandwidth usage? I am using cloudstack. VM shows only the NETWORK READ/WRITE. Does anyone have a good idea?

Not sure but are you looking for a functionality something like mentioned in below URLs: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/...Direct+Network http://wiki.zenoss.org/ZenPack:CloudStack

Do you hear about nload ? I used it to monitor bandwidth in realtime.

You can install cacti to watch and mis utilization of bandwidth usage.

Maybe vnstat is an option for you? It measures live, hourly, daily and monthly.

We use munin to monitor network bandwidth (and a bunch of other metrics) on all our VMs.

in that case, SNMP must be installed on VM?

You can try with Router. It is very simple way to measure bandwidth.

Cacti, will need SNMP installed. vnstat will run on the server. Munin can either be fully installed on the server, or you can just install munin-node if you plan to run it from another server.

monitoring network traffic and load channel can be viewed using CActi or zabbix www dot cacti dot net www dot zabbix dot com/download.php

I found the solution. but it is commercial. Very expensive.

vnstat works for me though my needs are simple. you can do a cron to generate vnstat results via email every day.
