Hey folks.
Currently, I am working on an accounting-solution for Private Cloud with Eucalyptus as my bachelor-thesis. Eucalyptus bases on libvirt providing the KVM machines. Part of the thesis is kind of measurement for the uptimes of each instance in the cloud.
As Eucalyptus is based on libvirt, i want to know if there is kind of tool already setup for monitoring a vm in terms of uptimes, cputimes and disk i/o.
Disk I/O and cpu time is reported by libvirt. See 'virsh domblkstat' and 'virsh dominfo' respectively. Uptime isn't explicitly listed by libvirt, but you can get a sorta uptime by just watching virsh domid output and making sure the domain ID doesn't change. - Cole
