RHEV Datacenters Test
This test auto-discovers the data centers configured on an RHEV manager and reports the composition, resource availability, and resource usage of each data center. This way, the test turns the spot light on those data centers that are headed towards a potential resource contention.
Target of the Test: A RHEV Manager
Agent running the test: A remote agent
Output of the test: One set of results for every data center configured on the RHEV manager being monitored.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
Test period |
How often should the test be executed. |
|
Host |
The host for which the test is to be configured. |
|
Port |
The port at which the specified host listens. The default port is 8443. |
|
RHEL MGR User and RHEL MGR Password |
To pull out the desired metrics from the RHEV manager, this test has to be configured with the privileges of a user who has been assigned the RHEVMUser role. Specify the user name and password of this user in the RHEL MGR User and RHEL MGR Password text boxes, respectively. |
|
Confirm Password |
Confirm the RHEL MGR Password by retyping it here. |
|
RHEL Manager Domain |
Specify the domain to which the RHEV manager belongs. By default, internal is displayed here. |
|
SSL |
If the RHEV manager to which the eG agent should connect is SSL-enabled, then set this flag to Yes. If not, set it to No. |
|
Detailed Diagnosis |
To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

Datacenter status |
Indicates the current status of this data center. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their numeric equivalents have been detailed in the table below:
Note: By default, this measure reports one of the Measure Values listed in the table above. The graph of this measure however will represent status using the numeric equivalents - ‘0’ or '1’. |

|
Storage domains in data center |
Indicates the current number of storage domains in the data center. |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which storage domains are part of the data center. |

|
Datacenter disk capacity |
Indicates the total disk capacity of this data center. |
GB |
|
||||||||||||||
|
Free space in datacenter |
Indicates the total unused space in this datacenter. |
GB |
A high value is desired for this measure. |
||||||||||||||
|
Used space in datacenter |
Indicates the amount of disk space that is currently utilized in this data center. |
GB |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. |
||||||||||||||
|
Percentage of free space in datacenter |
Indicates the percentage of disk space that is currently free in this data center. |
Percent |
A low value or a steady decrease in the value of this measure indicates the gradual erosion of disk space from the hosts in the data center. If the situation persists, then the data center may suddenly run very low on disk space, causing the hosts and VMs in the data center to fight over the meager resources. This in turn will affect the performance of the VMs, hosts, and the applications executing on the VMs. |

|
Clusters in datacenter |
Indicates the current number of clusters in this data center. |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which clusters are part of the data center. |

RHEV servers in datacenter |
Indicates the current number of RHEV servers in this data center. |

VMs in datacenter |
Indicates the current number of VMs in this data center. |
Number |

Compatibility version |
Indicates the compatibility level of this data center. |
Number |
Each host connected to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager contains a version of VDSM. VDSM is the agent within the virtualization infrastructure that runs on a hypervisor or host and provides local management for virtual machines, networks and storage. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager controls hypervisors and hosts using current or older versions of VDSM. The Manager migrates virtual machines from host to host within a cluster. This means the Manager excludes certain features from a current version of VDSM until all hosts within a cluster have the same VDSM version, or more recent, installed. The API represents this concept as a compatibility level for each host, corresponding to the version of VDSM installed. A version element contains major and minor attributes, which describe the compatibility level. When an administrator upgrades all hosts within a cluster to a certain level, the version level appears under a supported_versions element. This indicates the cluster's version is now updatable to that level. Once the administrator updates all clusters within a data center to a given level, the data center is updatable to that level. |
