[libvirt] Dom0 Interface stats with virDomainInterfaceStats
Would it be possible to enable fetch of the interface stats of the dom0 via the API? Stefan

It sounds a bit Xen specific, but I see no reason why this should not be allowed.

I disagree - Dom0 is a concept only present in a subset of hypervisors. What Stefan is really asking for is ability to get stats of devices in the host OS. This kind of thing belongs in a separate API such as virNodeInterfaceStats so it is usable across all our drivers.

I wonder if you mean remotely? Anyway, it's not possible with libvirt, but in general Linux you can always get the "dom0 network stats" by just reading /proc/net/dev Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
