Hi folks,
is it possible to monitor and gather statistics in realtime (CPU,
memory, HDD, network, ... - something like dstat) of guest systems
with libvirt through console from host system (KVM based)? If yes, do
those guests need to be created through libvirt? Thanks for your help
and time.
If you have a large number of servers to monitor, you might want to look at
the Host sFlow agent:
http://host-sflow.sourceforge.net/
The Host sFlow agent is installed on the server and locally polls physical
server statistics and VM statistics using libvirt. The statistics are
exported using the sFlow protocol.

If you want detailed network visibility then the Open vSwitch includes
sFlow monitoring of inter-VM traffic:
