This wiki is a WIP. Please feel free to modify this page with relevant information
The intention of this wiki is to list the metrics and information we need to collect for the NFVI. The metrics/info collected about the NFVI fall under one of two categories: dynamic information and static information. In addition to these two categories, some information about the monitoring process (the process which collects the information and metrics) itself is also required.
Monitoring Process information:
A Unique Process identifier.
Static NFVI Info/Metrics
Compute
BIOS infromation
Networking
Storage
Dynamic NFVI Info/Metrics
Compute
At a minimum the following metrics should be collected:
- CPU Utilization
- Memory Utilization
- vMemory Utilization [TODO]
- Cache Utililzation
- Platform Metrics (thermals, fan-speed) [TODO: Break this down further]
At a minimum the following events should be monitored:
- Machine check exceptions (System, Processor, Memory...) [TODO: Break this down further]
Networking
[TODO] Add a note on the vSwitch and add vSwitch specific metrics
At a minimum the following metrics should be collected for a Networking interface:
- Total Packets received and transmitted
- Dropped packets (TX and RX)
- Error packets (TX and RX) [TODO: Break this down further]
- Broadcast Packets (TX and RX)
- Multicast Packets (TX and RX)
Other Metrics that should be collected for a Networking interface (if possible):
- Average bitrate
- Average latency
At a minimum the following events should be monitored for a Networking interface:
- Link Status
Storage
