Xen users - Nov 2008 - looking for a better way to graph XEN bandwidth usage

Hi all,

We host a few XEN VPS for clients, and I need a better way to graph
the bandwidth / traffic usage on a per VPS basis. We currently use
Cacti, but it keeps falling over and we''re currently loosing a lot of
money due to the problems with Cacti.

Does anyone know of a fool proof script / program that can monitor the
VPS bandwidth usage?

Plain MRTG, using RRD logformat, with routers2.cgi to graph the data from 
the .rrd files.  Be sure to add "SnmpEnableV3: yes", and to use the
ifHC*
OIDs (64-bit counters).  You''ll also need to put :::::2 at the end of
the
Target[] line to enable the ifHC* counter checking in MRTG.

We''re using this to graph CPU, RAM, Swap, and NIC data for the dom0 and
each domU on our Xen box.

As I told someone on October :

have you seen the software pmacct :
http://www.pmacct.net/

I have searched for something to monitor the net consumption of vm that can
be rent to customer... This software has several advantages :
- there is no need to install client software on the VM
- the bandwith consumption can be shown on graph (with RRDtool) and can be
stored in a database...

Let me know if it interest you ?

Best Regards,

Guillaume Thiery
