In general terms, if you want to monitor things like disk usage,
actual memory usage, process lists and so on, you need to have an
agent running inside the guest. Collectd might be a good start.

Disk usage is tricky to monitor from the hypervisor. Have a look
around for my 'virt-df' tool (which doesn't actually work at the
moment -- it needs a bit of loving). Here are a couple of starting
points:

I tidied up virt-df a bit, added a manpage and pushed it out to the
mercurial repository above. I might release it in a later Fedora for
people to try out. At the moment it doesn't really understand LVM,
making it a little bit useless, but that's actually not too hard to
add -- a worthwhile mini-project for someone wanting to learn OCaml.

I wonder if we can do 'virt-free' and 'virt-ps' ... Quite ambitious :-)
