Monitor total bandwidth consumed by VM?

[Mecanik]

Hi,

From what I see Proxmox keeps track of total incoming/outgoing traffic, which leads to the question in the title.

Can one get the total bandwidth consumed by the VM? Either via API or some other method?

Thank you

A metrics server like InfluxDB is capable of giving you the raw metrics so you can sum them up.

Thanks, I tought there is something built in to retrieve this since the stats show traffic per hour, etc.

The graphs are done via rrdtool, you can also get the data behinde the graphs from there.

Indeed, after some research I found this. However, again, I thought there might be something built it and easy to use.
