Systems and methods for analyzing performance of virtual environments

摘要

Intelligent monitoring systems and methods for virtual environments are disclosed that understand various components of a virtual infrastructure and how the components interact to provide improved performance analysis to users. In certain examples, a monitoring system assesses the performance of virtual machine(s) in the context of the overall performance of the physical server(s) and the environment in which the virtual machine(s) are running. For instance, the monitoring system can track performance metrics over a determined period of time to view changes to the allocation of resources to virtual machines and their location(s) on physical platforms. Moreover, monitoring systems can utilize past performance information from separate virtual environments to project a performance impact resulting from the migration of a virtual machine from one physical platform to another.

主权项

1. A system for monitoring data in a virtual computing environment, the system comprising:
computer hardware including at least one computer processor; and a plurality of modules stored in computer-readable storage and comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the computer hardware to perform operations defined by the computer-readable instructions, the modules including:
a topology module configured to receive object data indicative of a plurality of objects in a virtual computing environment, the topology module being further configured to:
transform the object data into a topology model comprising a plurality of interconnected topology objects, the topology model being representative of existing relationships between the plurality of objects in the virtual computing environment, wherein the plurality of objects comprises at least a source physical platform, and a virtual machine that operates on the source physical platform, andmap metric data indicative of measured performance values associated with the plurality of objects to objects within the topology model;a migration modeler module configured to:
identify an anticipated migration of the virtual machine from the source physical platform to a target physical platform that is physically distinct from the source physical platform; andbefore the virtual machine is migrated to the target physical platform, use at least a portion of the metric data to generate impact data indicative of a projected impact on resources of at least the target physical platform that is expected to occur upon the anticipated migration of the virtual machine to the target physical platform.
