Hello all. We have a number of VMs on a Proxmox cluster and are very interested in getting network traffic data for specific time periods (usually per month). Using the proc/sysfs system is not an option, since traffic data restarts if a vm is live-migrated (and for specific reasons, we do that relatively often). I know that in previous versions of Proxmox this was not an option, but I see that in 2.x the rrdcached daemon is used.
As far as I can see, this daemon caches the RRD data and moves them along with the configuration of the vm when it is live migrated, and it already stores the info we need (network i/o). I was therefore wondering where this data resides, and if it is possible to read it using RRDtool from another host.
