Hi, all. I’m current doing monitoring jobs(CPU, memory and disk utilisation) on some
KVM-based VMs using libvirt, but i came to some confusions.
For the disk data(blkstat), I find that the results acquired by virDomainBlockStats is not
consistent with the value read from /proc/[vm_pid]/io(i only
care “rd_bytes" and “wr_bytes"), since libvirt doesn’t support host level
monitoring, i have to calculate the host’s disk utilisation by using the /proc/diskstats.
The weird thing
is that individual VM’s disk data can be greater that the total disk’s during some
sampling time. Can someone explain this ?
