xsifstat is a tool to expose metrics of the XenServer network subsystem on a per-VIF basis.
Specific features of xsifstat include
- Providing information about each VIF in terms of:
- Receive and transmit data rates (in Gbit/s)
- Group VIFs by corresponding netback thread
- Group threads by corresponding network bridge
Note that data is printed from a dom0 perspective. That means RX is data received by dom0 and TX is data transmitted by dom0. This is the same method as used by ifconfig, for instance.
This tool is a python script and does not require pre-compilation. In order to use it, clone the Github repository and run the tool. It only depends on Python v2.4 or above.
