Hi,
I was wondering if theres any way I can monitor total bytes sent and
recieved by a single Domain without installing anything on the
guestos itself. I´ve been trying out a few different options but none
seem to be working out. I´m using bridged networking, each domain has
a unique public IP.
You can see the totals per guest vif using either ifconfig or cat
/proc/net/dev

This works partially, but I need a way to monitor total usage over time.
So any script that relies on statistics from each vif will get thrown
off if I ever restart a domain or start them in a different order.
yes - I had the same problem. So I came up with the following solution:
I installed the ifrename tool (ifrename package in debian) and I changed
the /etc/xen/scripts/vif-brige script in a way that it renames the vif
before adding it to the bridge with a name based on the last byte of the
mac address assigned to the virtual interface. My changes look like this
(unified diff):

All you have to do is to assign mac addresses in the domains that differ
by last byte, and voila, you will get the same interface name every time
the domain is started.
But take care if you use tools that will try to compansate for counter
overflows, because if you stop and start a domain, the counters will get
reset.
I then use a snmpd running in Domain-0, so that my traffic collector can
collect traffic data the same way it does from our routers.
Best regards,
Carsten
