No data venet0:0 - Monitoring VPS Network Interface Cards

[g18c]

Hi i am able to monitor my physical servers and show traffic on eth0 and eth1, all works great.

I would now like to monitor some VPS nodes that do not have eth0 or eth1, instead they have venet0:0 and venet0:1. The problem is, the out of the box template does not support this, i have changed the host items interface key to:

net.if.in[venet0:0,bytes] and net.if.in[venet1:0,bytes]

But the status says it is not supported.

Any idea what i am doing wrong, and any advice how i can monitor these network aliases?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris

if that's linux, it just does not keep counters on virtual interfaces - at least did not when i last checked. so there's no data collected by operating system to gather in this case.
