Providing Automated Detection of Problems in Virtualized Servers Using Monitor Framework
Overview Increasing management costs with large servers have caused adoption of a technique called Server Virtualization whereby multiple virtual machines can be hosted on the same physical machine. Reduction in the number of physical machines and amount of rack space brings the total cost of ownership down. Virtual servers residing on the same physical machine are likely to suffer resource contention under varying workload conditions. The authors are targeting distributed environments where some services are executed on virtual servers. In this paper, the authors propose a hierarchical, scalable, non-intrusive Monitor framework which addresses not only system level problems but also problems in application semantics. It show how design of Monitor framework is different from existing management frameworks making it suitable for virtualized environments.
