Monitoring List for Compute Infrastructure in Eucalyptus Cloud
Aparna Datt, Anita Goel, Suresh Chand Gupta · 2015
Compute services in IaaS cloud perform the task of provisioning and managing virtual machines requested by the users. The ever increasing demand for compute services in cloud has led to an associated large scale infrastructure that is complex to manage. An efficient and fine-tuned monitoring mechanism is required to manage the large scale and complex compute infrastructure. Eucalyptus is an open source cloud platform that provides compute services to the users. This paper presents an infrastructure monitoring list for compute services in Eucalyptus that elicits the details of infrastructure to be monitored. The list is useful to the system administrator for selecting parameters that need to be monitored. Developers benefit from the list by selecting requirements from the list during the update and development of tools.
