We run VMs in remote data centers. We are responsible for the VM, but not for the hypervisor.

We want to detect changes in the resources of the VM.

Example:

  1. VM has 10GByte memory - everything is fine
  2. Remote data center changes its setting, we only get 7 GByte and forgets to inform us.
  3. Customer calls us: Our service is slow
  4. Since the customer is responsible for the remote data center, I want to detect since when we have less resources.

I could solve this with some scripts, but I would like to reuse an existing tool.

How to track this?

  • Do you have any monitoring applications that you use? – Citizen May 31 '16 at 07:56
  • @Citizen we have a simple solution which calls checks like nagios. But up to now we have no tool to track data like physical memory of VMs. – guettli May 31 '16 at 08:10
  • Who is responsible for the hypervisor? The customer as cited in #4? Or some other vendor? Couldn't you ask whoever is responsible for the hypervisor to include you in the Change Management of the VMs? – TheCleaner May 31 '16 at 18:02
  • Yes, the customer is responsible for the hypervisor. I am not very familiar with big data centers. How does "include you in the Change Management of the VMs" look like? – guettli May 31 '16 at 19:53
