Hi, Can someone clarify for me the numbers that show up in Xenmon? Specifically, I''m curious about the "domain31" entry which always shows up. It looks like this represents the free resources. Also, does anyone know what would happen if more than 30 domain0''s were started (or more likely, I did enough migrations to raise the next domain ID to above 30)? Thanks for

Dear list, as my Xen3 server is finaly becomming ready for production I was wondering if anyone has written a xen usage monitoring/logging tool? Something like xm top, but with continuose logging to a (rr)database. Or a munin plugin? I can''t remember seeing anything simmilar on the list. BTW: where does xm top get the NETTX(k) and NETRX(k) from? For a munin plugin I''d

Cycling around many CPUs in XenMon''s curses mode can get cumbersome. This trivial patch adds bindings to move to the previous CPU. The next/previous binding seems more natural to me than the earlier cycle binding, but we can keep them all for now. # HG changeset patch # Node ID 146b5c76086c07fad61bea7ccf60f2f4fd66abbd # Parent 7dd31dbf16e75f0f70e0f9c44b2bb2b5fc6eecf1 Add next/previous

Hi, This patch removes the magic number "31" for readability. The number "31" means the idle domain ID. In detail: - display the idle domain ID with "Idle" instead of "31" - write to the file "log-idle.log" instead of "log-dom31.log".

Attached is the second release of XenMon, which is a unique performance monitoring tool for Xen. Instead of using hypervisor calls to get domain information, we use the xentrace facility to provide fine-grained monitoring of various metrics (see README below). We have written up a small case study that demonstrates the usefulness of the tool and the metrics that it reports. This will be

Hi, This patch adds the argument check of "--ms_per_sample=" option. For "--ms_per_sample=", a negative value should be invalid. e.g. % xenmon.py -n --ms_per_sample=-1 usage: xenmon.py [options] xenmon.py: error: option --ms_per_sample: invalid negative value: ''-1'' Signed-off-by: KUWAMURA Shin''ya <kuwa@jp.fujitsu.com> -- KUWAMURA

Hi everyone, I''m trying to convert some Xen HVM images to run on VMware ESX, unsuccessfully thus far. I believe the problem is that ESX by default wants the VMs to use SCSI virtual disks, but my HVM VMs are configured to use IDE virtual disks. If you have any experience with this sort of thing, please get in touch. Thanks! Diwaker -- http://floatingsun.net/

Package: xen-utils-3.0.3-1 Version: 3.0.3-0-2 For some reason, xenmon.py is not in the search path - maybe an issue of the wrapper used by the xen Debian packages seems to be only a link to the wrapper is missing the program exists in the package xen-utils-3.0.3-0-2 and the follwoing make it work: ln -s ../lib/xen-common/bin/xen-utils-wrapper /usr/sbin/xenmon.py ln -s

Hello, I''ve been trying to get xenmon.py and xentrace to work, but I consistently get the following (on a couple of different machines/kernels): kibab kibab # xentrace /root/xentrace.log ERROR: Failure to get trace buffer pointer from Xen (22 = Invalid argument) Did I miss an option that has to be turned on or something? Is there some other setting that I need so that everything

Hi, I have installed Xen 3.3.1 with Ubuntu 8.04 as dom0 and fedora9 (from jailtime.org) as Dom1. I have more instances of the same fedora9 with separate config files running as other guest domains. But these guest domains dont have any program / application running. So, xm list shows that they are in blocked state as no activity is happening. I wrote a shell script that counts upto large numbers

Hi list, I''m working on monitoring CPUs usage per domU, I/O.... using xenmon parsing its output and finally polling the results with cacti. Any advices? If all works OK I will post my work to the list.

In XenMon''s file appending mode, a lot of times I''ll get a strange first data point, e.g., the cpu% for dom0 will be 99.9 but the rest of the readings will be 19-21 which are sane for the run. I''ve been throwing the data point out, but was curious about it. Is it unavoidable? Thanks, Tim _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

Hi, I''m trying to create a new gallery layout. I did the following: o create plugin/foobar.rb in my base directory. o copy plugins/gallerylayouters/default.rb in foobar.rb and make appropriate modifications. For simplicity, lets say my class looks thus: require ''webgen/plugins/gallerylayouters/default'' module GalleryLayouters class Foobar <

Hello, I have a question about the way Xentrace takes a trace. In previous versions of Xen, I took a trace by setting the size of buffers, activating them and writing the information into a file (optional). setsize 20 tbctl 1 xentrace /tmp/xentrace.dat Now I''m using xen-unstable and I see that setsize is already integrated in xentrace command. My question is: does start/stop buffer is

Hi, I am using Xenmon to measure performance of Credit and SEDF schedulers. But as you know, the metrics displayed by xenmon keep refreshing on the screen. When I tried redirecting the xenmon output, I am seeing the attached file. Is there any better way to record results which I can use to draw graphs? Please guide.. Thank you Warm Regards Ananth

Package: xen-utils-3.0.3-1 Version: 3.0.3-0-3 Severity: grave Tags: security Justification: user security hole Xen versions 3.x, and 3.1 contain a tool for processing Xen trace buffer information. This tool uses the static file /tmp/xenq-shm insecurely allowing a local user to truncate any local file when xenbaked or xenmon.py are invoked by root. Sample session: # setup. skx

Hi folks, I''m trying to use the atropos scheduler with Xen. Couple of questions: - the scheduling param *has* to be specified at boot time right, or does Xen allow changing the scheduling scheme at run time?? - xm help atropos gives a very vague message at best, perhaps we could make it more elaborate: xm atropos DOM SLICE PERIOD LATENCY XTRATIME o is DOM the vm ID or the vm NAME (as
