Cloud computing is a technology that companies, universities, and research centers use to acquire computational resources on demand to improve availability and scalability of applications while reducing operational costs. In this context, resource management is an important mean to improve clouds, and resources monitoring is the key to achieve it. This paper presents an overview on cloud monitoring and a comparison among relevant cloud monitoring solutions. In complement, we analyze trends on monitoring of cloud computing environments and propose future directions.
