Cloud Resource Monitoring for Facilitating Administration

Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of a web dashboard used for monitoring cloud resources. Cloud computing provides sharing and managing data and performing computations on a shared resource via the Internet. In this dissertation, the cloud that is being monitored by the dashboard is SAVI testbed. The dashboard provides a bird's eye view for the monitoring of SAVI tested resources. The dashboards allows the user to monitor different resources: parameters such as cpu utilization, memory usage, cpu time, virtual cpu and instances. It also allows users to browse through information about different resources and then make a decision on resource migration. This dissertation outlines some of the identified weaknesses and it lists suggestions to further improve the dashboard.
