Hi, Are there any tools to monitor the actual resource usage os VMs as well as the dom0 and hypervisor? The result of xm top sometimes confusing and is not detailed enough. Thanks, Jia. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Many keys and command line options are the same as for ordinary ''top''. It uses libvirt so it is capable of showing stats across a variety of different virtualization systems. -- Tiago Cruz http://everlinux.com Linux User #282636 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi, I tried to use libvirt, however the xen and the kernel were compiled from source. If I want to install libvirt from yum (CentOS 5.0) the dependencies need to install xen and xen-kernel. The source compiled xen seems to have some compatibility issues in the links of the scripts with the yum installed xen (whenever I yum install something related to xen, xm crashes). What I need is a sar (sysstat) like detailed performance monitoring tool down to the hypervisor level (treat each VM as a process) and report the most detailed execution info for each VM (e.g. the real page fault rate of each VM). Any ideas? Thanks, Jia. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Have you tried using XenMon (http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2005/HPL-2005-187.html) or XenoProf (http://xenoprof.sourceforge.net)? Those are performance monitoring tools for Xen that give you quite some detailed information. ---- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Jia Rao Sent: 03 April 2008 19:44 To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] performance monitoring of VMs Any suggestions?
