OpenNebula includes an accounting tool that track on DB the resources usage by every single VM during time. This data should be sufficient to implement your requirements.

Ganglia is a well-know health monitoring tool for datacenters, you can use it to make sure that your hardware is keeping well. You can use Ganglia monitoring features with your OpenNebula infrastructure without any particular software requirement. Instead, the OpenNebula integration witn Ganglia as explained here http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.8:ganglia is to take advantage of Ganglia to transport monitoring metrics instead of using the native OpenNebula IM drivers. In other words, you may need to use that specific integration to increase the scalability of your infrastructure (it will use Ganglia agents on nodes instead of ON frontend's active checks). > Does anybody already monitor such events and maybe even visualize them? In any case, you can write your own data collecting daemon using the XML-RPC OpenNebula API (Ruby and Java clients are available): http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.8:ruby http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.8:java -- Giovanni Toraldo http://gionn.net _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org
