Don't know, i didn't write that bit :D
The virtualization "support" in Observium is currently limited to listing the virtual machines on a monitored host, if it's running either VMWare ESX or something with libvirt. Libvirt access can be done through any libvirt-supported mechanism (I think?), I only tested ssh access (with a passwordless key) myself.
If you run something like Xenserver we currently have no support for it; does it expose its data somehow?
Code can always be written, but we prefer to do this only when we can get access to a (test)host.
- Since i have xen nodes, any recommendations for getting resource
information to actual show for the entire xen host instead of just the dom0?
Nope :>
Again, if this data is somehow provided, it can probably be arranged.
Patches welcome, as always -- if you need help deciphering what goes where, there is a start for development documentation on the wiki, but it's by no means complete. Join us on IRC for fast turnaround answers(*).
