Is there some interface to get statistics for venet device? I found and old patch:

http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=459&goto= 2581&#msg_2581

but seems that this is not included in current 2.6.32 kernel?

Well, I want statistics for each container. /proc/net/dev only shows overall traffic?

Each container has one also...for example for VEID=17801

[root@xc7 ubc]# grep venet /vz/root/17801/proc/net/dev
venet0:205802061231 1034310182 0 0 0 0 0 0
200705808251 1046608527 0 1452

Oh, so I do not need to call 'vzctl exec' to get that data?

Why? Save time and effort just get it directly from the hardware node as
my example shows using /vz/root/VEID/proc/net/dev. We use fopen() in C
to read these files in the unxsVZ OpenVZ management system, but you can
read it from BASH or Perl with a little more overhead.

Well, that file is simply not there on my system (latest openvz 2.6.32 kernel). I can only see it inside the VM.

So what kernel do you use exactly?
