GitHub user Pearl1594 added a comment to the discussion: Instance network metrics calculation with API
@meisammaleki Could you also please let us know which API are you referring to where you see the discrepancy? If you are referring to the `listVirtualMachineMetrics` API response, please pass the `accumulate` parameter and set it to true, to see the correct value. When you call the API without accumulate=true, the networkread value (e.g., "41.20 MiB") represents only the inbound traffic in the last 60 seconds - essentially the current download rate, not the cumulative total. This is why it appears much lower than expected. To see the correct total inbound traffic that your VM has received, you must add accumulate=true to your API call: cloudmonkey list virtualmachinemetrics id=<vm-uuid> accumulate=true. This will return the sum of all network traffic across the stats retention period.
