hi,
many thanks for the reply. I am interested in measuring the provider api response (priority is in Amazon, nice to have extension would be Google compute).

I see in the EC2ListNodesStrategy class this part:
 public Set<? extends ComputeMetadata> listNodes() {
      return listDetailsOnNodesMatching(NodePredicates.all());
   }

probably it gets all right? this would seem reasonable since the calls are measured to take ~20 seconds

The listNodes method can do more than one call, depending on the provider. Some providers just return partial data when listing, some return the entire node data. In the former, jclouds will perform a get operation on each returned node to return a list of fully populated objects, so the metrics could be biased depending on the provider.

Are you trying to measure how much it takes to jclouds to get the list of nodes or are you trying to measure how fast the provider api responds? You can do the latter by configuring an interceptor at the http driver level.

    Hi all,

    I want to check out the response time of provider APIs to a
    request for retrieving the server list. I use the following piece
    of code to get it and afterwards in order to search in the
    metadata e.g.

    ComputeServiceContext context = ContextBuilder.newBuilder(provider)
                    .credentials(user, apiKey)

                    .buildView(ComputeServiceContext.class);

            ComputeService computeService = context.getComputeService();

    *//checkpoint 1**---startTime*
    Set<? extends ComputeMetadata> localCS=computeService.listNodes();
    *//checkpoint2---EndTime*
     context.close();

    List<? extends ComputeMetadata> NodeList = new ArrayList(localCS);
    for (ComputeMetadata node : localCS) {
        node.getName();
         NodeMetadata metadata =
    computeService.getNodeMetadata(node.getId());


    Are the check points included valid? From what i understand the
    initial lines before checkpoint1 are just for preparation, while
    the actual call is made in the computeService.listNodes() line.
    And afterwards (after checkpoint2) the metadata in e.g.
    computeService.getNodeMetadata(node.getId()) are taken from the
    local response, right?

    Cheers,
    George
