xentools's Introduction

gxentop

Push VM statistics, cpu, disk and net from xentop to carbon either direct or by means of collectd, supports xapi and xm.

Examples in the .png:

To net TX/RX: this is a routerVM controlled by cloudstack, and doing moderate network load.
Top Read IO shows us the most misbehaving VM in our cloud; it seems that the VM from account id 9 with vm_instance id 1452 is the most misbehaving VM which is hammering the shared storage underneath, and it is doing this via a disk known to Xen with id 5632.

This Xen ID can be used to get the specific disk ID with the xenstore-ls and xl commands:

    # xenstore-ls `xl block-list i-9-1452-VM | awk '{ print $7 }' | grep 5632`
