Monitoring Capabilities of the
eG Monitor for RHEV

RHEV Server Monitoring

What is the CPU load on the RHEV server and each of the VMs?
What is the free physical memory in the RHEV server and which VM is contributing to the memory usage?
Which network interfaces of the RHEV server are seeing the most traffic?

Outside View of Virtual Machines

How many VMs are running? What are their IP addresses/host names and operating systems?
How many virtual CPUs are allocated to each VM?
What portion of the physical server’s CPU is used by each VM?
How much memory is configured for each VM? What percentage of the configured memory is each VM consuming?
How many disk reads and writes are being initiated by each VM?
How much network traffic is being generated by each VM?

Inside View of Virtual Machines

What percentage of the physical CPU allocated to a VM is being used by processes running in the VM operating system?
Which processes running in the VM operating system are responsible for the resource usage (CPU, memory, disk) of the VM?
Do all the disk partitions in the VM operating system have adequate space?
Is there excessive queuing for disk access on any VM operating system? Which applications could be causing these accesses?
Are all the critical Windows services running in the VM operating system?
At what times of the day was the VM rebooted?
Is any of the processes running in the VM operating system leaking memory or handles?

Is the RHEV manager up and performing well?
Are all the key processes required for the RHEV manager working (JBoss web processes, Postgres database, etc.)?
Is the operating system hosting the RHEV manager functioning well?
Are there any unusual events (errors, migrations, etc.) happening on the RHEV manager?
How are the virtual machine clusters managed by the RHEV manager performing?
What storage domains are configured for each datacenter? Are the storage domains available and how much free space does each domain have?
