[ovirt-users] Network usage is not updating in the ovirt panel

[Lior Vernia]

Hi Shanil,

This file transfer should have been below the traffic threshold to be
displayed; as you can see in your third screenshot, the average transfer
rate was 213 KBps, which is about 1.5 Mbps, which is about 0.15% of the
NICs' speed - whereas you'd only see traffic above 1%.

You would need a higher-intensity transfer to verify... And in fact,
using your QoS settings, you will never see any traffic, as your traffic
limit is only 0.2% of the NICs' speed!

And for future reference, when you take screenshots of the VM/interfaces
secondary tab, it's best that you also click on the specific VM
interface that should see the traffic - so its RX/TX rate is displayed
in the "statistics" tab at the bottom-right.

Yours, Lior.
