The intention of this wiki is to list the metrics and events that should be monitored or collected within the NFVI. In addition to the metrics/events collected about the NFVI, some information about the monitoring process (the process which collects the information and metrics) itself is also required.
This list should be developed in conjunction with the Doctor (Faults) and VES Projects in OPNFV.
This wiki heavily references The ETSI NFV draft titled “Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV); Testing; NFVI Compute and Network Metrics Specification” which can be found at https://docbox.etsi.org/ISG/NFV/Open/Drafts/TST008

A metric (at any point in time) represents a measurement of an aspect of a particular platform resource for the purpose of monitoring. For example the number of dropped packets for a networking interface.
An Event can be thought of as a notification about a notable condition (usually a message with an associated severity and time). Events are used to notify monitoring systems of the occurrence of something that they should be aware of. For example, if the link status of a networking device on a compute node suddenly changes from up to down on a node hosting VNFs in an NFV deployment.
