Hi everyone,

 

I am studying the Xen performance metrics. 

My question is if we can get the following metrics from Xen hypervisor 
interface / XEND API (XEN management API) or not ?

cpu.extra.summation, cpu.ready.summation,

disk.busResets.summation, disk.commandsAborted.summation, 
disk.queueLatency.average,

mem.active.average, mem.overhead.average

If no, plan to add them? or How to add them?

 

As I study, there are the following results about XEN performance metrics on 
the current XEN 4.1.0.

BTW, VMWARE hypervisor can get all the metrics below. 

We can determine if the VM / host encounter the bottleneck issues using the 
performance metrics.
