Comment 1 Martin Pavlik 2015-03-02 09:57:27 UTC

RHEVM 3.6 should get feature Report total RX/TX byte statistics for hypervisor and VM network interfaces which is solved in Bug 1063343

this feature should be complemented by ability to reset these statistics via RHEVM GUI/REST. So the user can zero them at will. 

For example he decides to move host to new cluster >= 3.6 and wants to begin with zero counters. 

Or decides that he wants to reset the counters first day each month etc...

Marking as low priority because users could perform their own accounting with respect to the reported statistics e.g. at the beginning of the month. However, I agree it would be nice to have!

Yes, giving the admin more control is nice, but unless a customer proves me wrong, I don't think this is worth the hassle making rx/tx writeable.
