Abstract
A method for monitoring several data compute nodes (DCNs) on a group of managed host machines is provided. The method receives service usage data from a group of managed hosts. The service usage data identifies service usage for each of a plurality of entities associated with each managed host. The method aggregates the received service usage data. The method displays the aggregated service usage data.
Claims20
A method for monitoring a plurality of data compute nodes (DCNs) on a plurality of managed host machines, the method comprising:
- receiving service usage data from a plurality of managed host machines, wherein the service usage data identifies service usage for each of a plurality of entities associated with each managed host;
- aggregating the received service usage data;
- and
- displaying the aggregated service usage data.
For a host machine, a method for monitoring a plurality of data compute nodes (DCNs) operating on the host machine, the method comprising:
- monitoring a service usage metric that measures usage of service resources by the plurality of DCNs;
- and
- when the service usage metric exceeds a particular threshold value a particular number of times, generating an alert to notify a user of a potential unavailability of available service resources.
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by a set of processing units monitors a plurality of data compute nodes (DCNs) on a plurality of managed host machines, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
- receiving service usage data from a plurality of managed hosts, wherein the service usage data identifies service usage for each of a plurality of entities associated with each managed host;
- aggregating the received service usage data;
- and
- displaying the aggregated service usage data.
