Viewing Network Traffic Statistics

Parallels Server Bare Metal allows you to view the current network traffic statistics with the help of the vznetstat command. The session below shows the traffic statistics for Container 101:

# vznetstat -v 101

CTID Net.Class Input(bytes) Input(pkts) Output(bytes) Output(pkts)

101 1 2202448 19527 9081832 19584

101 2 0 0 0 0

In this case, around 2 MB of data were uploaded to the Container and about 9 MB were downloaded from it. All the traffic matches the definition of Class 1 and no data was exchanged with any hosts from Class 2 networks.

Without specifying Container ID with the –v parameter, the command will display the statistics for all running Containers.
