Red Hat KVM Hypervisor
======================

To compile for a Red Hat KVM hypervisor:

% make rpm FEATURES="KVM PCAP OVS"

Dependencies include:
 KVM:  libvirt-dev(el) libxml2-dev(el)
 PCAP: libpcap-dev(el)

The rpm will be written to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<ARCH>/
(where <ARCH> is i386 or x86_64 or ...)

Copy this rpm to the hypervisor, and install it,
then start the daemon with:

% sudo service hsflowd start

You can use virsh(1) and virt-manager(1) to see the data
that hsflowd can see via libvirt.

Traffic Monitoring
==================
If the linux-bridge is being used for networking then you
can add a line like this to /etc/hsflowd.conf:

pcap { dev = virbr0 }

so that the traffic to and from the VMs is monitored
with sFlow.  Alternatively, if Open VSwitch is running,
adding:

ovs { }

will propagate your collector and sampling-rate information
to the switch via ovs-vsctl(1).
