Cloud monitoring activity includes dynamically capturing the Quality of Service (QoS), the physical assets they share, the data hosted on them and the apps running on them. Considering a large amount of heterogeneous cloud resources, applications and resources are quite challenging in cloud computing environment. Also consider the fact that at each point of time, there will be specific and different cloud service. Therefore the application developer or cloud providers are assisted by a cloud monitoring tools in the following way: i) make sure that the application is at its peak efficiency; ii) Resource and application performances are checked in variations; iii) Qos (Quality of Service) parameters of certain Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations have been accounted; iv) The join and leave operations of cloud resources have been tracked because of Dynamic configuration changes and failure. In this paper, Design issues and major research dimensions related to monitoring tools of cloud are identified and discussed. Furthermore a brief study of various tools is provided.
