[one-users] Ganglia reports

[Craig Dawson]

Thanks Javier,

Thanks for the explanation.  I was under the impression that the virtual machine information would also be graphed.  What is the purpose of the OPENNEBULA_VM_INFORMATION metric?  Is it so that you can pull this information from Ganglia using another tool?  Thanks again!

Craig

Yikes! I've misreaded the email. The VM information is not directly parseable by ganglia so it cannot be used to draw graphics or to get notifications on VM activity. There are two ways to add VM information from my point of view, one is to create a virtual ganglia host per VM and add the information there (I see it a bit hackish but maybe the cleanest). The other is to create new parameters per VM/monitoring value pair in the physical host it is running it, something like OPENNEBULA_VM_85_CPU, OPENNEBULA_VM_85_FREEMEMORY and so on. I see this technique ugly and non scalable.

Do you see any other way to do this?
