We're in the process of building an OpenVZ control panel, however would like a little input.
Its designed to be run with a 'master' script that calls to the 'slaves', each running HyperVM -- ideally we want the scripts on the slave to be as small as possible.
I've looked at all the bandwidth/traffic accounting options on the forum, and wiki however there seems to be very little info on implementation, and which methods are best for an operation such as ours.
Anyone got any idea what would be best here? We need to be able to track monthly bandwidth usage, and possibly display bandwidth graphs.
Thanks for your time.

1) tx_bytes would show the bandwidth for all vps accounts (I need to get data for each individual account)
you're wrong. If you use tx_bytes for venet0 on each vps, it show the tx_bytes of the vps only
2) Collectd isnt able to pick up bandwidth usage from each VPS.
sorry, but you're wrong again. I use it this way

Thanks for your reply.
1) Yes, but as stated, whats to stop the VPS user from modifying the value?
2) I've searched high and low and cant find anything about using it with OpenVZ

Even if you're root user, you can't modify this info, or if so, tell me how to, i'm interested!

you just have to install collectd on each vps and configure it
|
On one of our servers, i've a vps that is a collectd server, and each vps has its collectd slave configured to send its data to the server.
