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 events we need to collect for 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 and VES Projects in OPNFV.
Monitoring Process information:
A Unique Process identifier.
NFVI Events
Compute
At a minimum the following events should be monitored:
- Machine check exceptions (System, Processor, Memory...) [TODO: Break this down further]
Networking
At a minimum the following events should be monitored for a Networking interface:
- Link Status
Storage
NFVI Other Information
Compute
BIOS information
Networking
Storage
NFVI 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]
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
Storage
