[ovirt-users] Collectd with Ovirt

[Punit Dambiwal]

Hi Michal,

Right now I am using DWH and Ovirt reports...for the guest vm cpu and
memory it's good and ok to use but for the network usages there is nothing
even the guest vm usages is too high...that's why i want to use collectd to
get the proper network usages graphs of guest VM's.

Thanks,
Punit
