Xen users - Mar 2010 - System-wide profiler & Vulnerability Scanner for Xen VMs!

Hi,

I''ve a debian-based setup of 2 domUs and I''m interested for
any supported tool to give me the domUs profiles, I came accros
"Xenprof" http://xenoprof.sourceforge.net/#download
I wonder would it help me to know  exactly what software currently installed on
domU what patches insatlled recently and bit info of hardware such as free
memory, disk space etc.
I''m also looking through for ''dconf'', don''t
know that would serve the purpose or not?

Secondly, I''m interested to look through configuring Tenable Network
Security tool ''Nessus Vulnerability scanner''; does any one
know how to configure it on domUs? For example to know what domUs have what
vulnerability and needs patching etc..

Many thanks in advance for help.

Regards 

-Jan

Are you familiar with profiling?

Short answer:no.
Those info you seek can easily be obtained using properly-configured
net-snmp (on Linux systems anyway) running on domUs. Nothing
xen-specific about it.

No.

configure it like you''d do on a physical, non-xen machine.
