Best way to retrieve container network usage / counters [message #49150]

Hi,

I'm trying to read CT network usage / counters for reporting purposes.

Something like:

vzctl exec CTID cat /proc/net/dev

But independent from the CT, something that runs from the HN/Host/ hardware node.

The problem with "vzctl exec" is that the binary (cat in this example) is read from the CT area. A user could cheat the reporting by replacing /bin/cat inside his container.

I could not find anything looking at the various OpenVZ /proc entries on the HN.

Thanks

Simon
