[libvirt-users] Monitoring KVM Machine Uptimes

[Karsten Knese]

Hey folks.

Currently, I am working on an accounting-solution for Private Cloud with 
Eucalyptus as my bachelor-thesis. Eucalyptus bases on libvirt providing 
the KVM machines. Part of the thesis is kind of measurement for the 
uptimes of each instance in the cloud.

As Eucalyptus is based on libvirt, i want to know if there is kind of 
tool already setup for monitoring a vm in terms of uptimes, cputimes and 
disk i/o.
If not, can anyone give me a hint, how i could grep these facts?

I found a tool called "virt-top" which monitors the vm, but for me there 
is to much overhead.

Thanks for you support.
cheers,
Karsten
