IMHO, there's two problems here: capacity planning for real resources (ie making sure you have enough real horsepower to deliver to the virtualized Linux guests), and monitoring how Linux uses the resources it's given. If you want information about VM resource utilization only, the VM Performance Toolkit will supply the real resource utilization information pretty well, and it's fairly easy to learn to use. PerfKit can also take data from Linux guests, but as others have observed, the usefulness of some of that data is limited. Nagios, BB, MRTG and friends can show you some information about how Linux is allocating the resources it gets internally, but it won't show you much about real resource utilization. The VM SNMPD doesn't really have enough information available to be useful. ESALPS makes a pretty good matchup between the two problems. There are a couple of things I'd like to see done differently in it, but hey, I'm not the author. PerfKit's pretty reasonable for basic capacity planning. Depends on your budget and what you need worst. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
