Hi Somesh; We made some tests with usage db and usage db responds usage in hours, are there any way to get usage in total read_kbs and write_kbs? Do you have any details?
Also alternative solution is integrating ACS with Graphite solution, but we made some tests to compare ACS listvirtualmachines api output with Graphite's network read/write output and we noticed that their output could change in some point but we did not aware that when you restart management server, CloudStack's vm statistics resets :) So are there any people on list who are using Graphite successfully to calculate vm network values??
