Tell me more ×  We run a mixed bag of Citrix XenServer and
Gentoo/Xen virtualization platforms in our company. In general,
we use XenServer where we have shared storage (SAN, iSCSI or
whatever) and Gentoo/Xen where we want to use local storage.
With XenServer, we can get detailed utilization statistics for
both the Dom0 and the various DomUs on the platform. We also
monitor the DomUs via SNMP (Cacti). We can get stats from the
Gentoo/Xen DomUs using SNMP or SAR or whatever else, but we
aren't able to get good usage stats from the Dom0. Without this,
we're not able to assess how effectively we're using the
hardware and when we need to look at building out.  I'm sure
this must be a solved problem, but my Google-Fu has let me down
somewhat, so I'm hoping someone here might have some ideas.

not dom0, right? Or am I missing something? –  Thomas Jul 26 '09
