3rd party monitoring tool to suggest ?

Post by Palmer »

Hi,
Is there any 3rd party monitoring tool compatible with virtualbox to get a dashboard-alike kind of reporting/view ?

Thanks

Can you explain what's on your mind? What's the "dashboard-like" thing that you are thinking?

Moving this from "VirtualBox API" to "Using VirtualBox".
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Hi Socratis, let me explain.

I have a 10cores/20threads machine I set up as IT test virtual lab
I launch several machines at the same time ( pfsense, win 7 ->10 and several linux distros).
I am looking to a dashboard/console that tells me how the machine are using the allocated resources .
I know that Virtualbox does not have anything native on the contrary of VMWare (Esxi ??) so I was wondering if there is anybody (3 parties) that has developed such summary appliance.
One suggestion I have got from a Splunk employ (friend of mine) is to setup a Splunk VM in the environment and collect some data from all the VM's.
Although interesting I find it a bit cumbersome for few basic data ( Utilization of CPU, Disk, RAM, Swap..)

I hope this clarify.
