Abstract
Approaches for monitoring performance in a networked environment are provided. An approach includes monitoring, using a first metric, performance of a first host running a virtual machine. The approach also includes determining, using a computer device, a second metric based on the virtual machine being migrated from the first host to a second host, wherein the second metric is a function of: (i) the first metric and (ii) a comparison of the first host and the second host. The approach further includes monitoring, using the second metric, performance of the second host running the virtual machine.
Claims19
A system for monitoring performance in a networked environment, comprising:
- a hardware CPU, a hardware computer readable memory and a hardware computer readable storage medium;
- program instructions to determine a length of a first edge of a traffic triangle based on a first vector that includes components associated with quantified performance characteristics of a first host which is comprised of a first hardware infrastructure;
- program instructions to determine a length of a second edge of the traffic triangle based on a second vector that includes components associated with quantified performance characteristics of a second host which is comprised of a second hardware infrastructure;
- program instructions to determine a multiplier based on a comparison of the length of the first edge of the traffic triangle to the length of the second edge of the traffic triangle;
- program instructions to multiply a monitoring threshold associated with the first host by the multiplier to calculate an adjusted monitoring threshold;
- and
- program instructions to determine a monitoring threshold for the second host when a virtual machine is moved between the first host and the second host, wherein the monitoring threshold for the second host is based on both the monitoring threshold associated with the first host and a comparison between the quantified performance characteristics of the first host and the second host,
- wherein the program instructions are stored on the hardware computer readable storage medium for execution by the hardware CPU via the hardware computer readable memory.
