METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING LIFE-CYCLE OF VIRTUAL MACHINE

摘要

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for monitoring a life cycle of a virtual machine. A monitoring agent is included in a computing device providing at least one virtual machine in a cloud system. The monitoring agent comprises: a first monitoring unit monitoring a change in a life cycle of the virtual machine; a second monitoring unit monitoring resource information and state information of the virtual machine, when the change in the virtual machine life cycle is detected; and an interface unit transmitting the resource information and the state information of the virtual machine to an external monitoring server, by using a configured address. The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for monitoring a life cycle of a virtual machine installed in each computing device in a cloud environment.
