Justin, Thank you for the listing.
For anyone interested in the format of the data exported by the Host sFlow agent, the following document describes how the libvirt metrics are encoded: http://www.sflow.org/sflow_host.txt The sFlow protocol is very simple, the existing libvirt structures are basically serialized using XDR and sent as UDP datagrams. Apart from the increased scalability of pushing rather than pulling performance counters; the sFlow standard links network, server (both physical and virtual) and application performance statistics together within a single multi-vendor standard: http://blog.sflow.com/2010/08/sflow-host-structures.html Peter On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 7:25 AM, Justin Clift <[email protected]> wrote: > On 10/16/2010 10:26 AM, [email protected] wrote: > >> On Fri, Oct 01, 2010 at 03:47:23PM +0200, Tomi wrote: >> >>> Hi folks, >>> >> >> is it possible to monitor and gather statistics in realtime (CPU, >>> memory, HDD, network, ... - something like dstat) of guest systems >>> with libvirt through console from host system (KVM based)?
