    A Framework for Private Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring
    (AAU, 2018-11) Selamawit, Belete; Mesfin, Kifle (PhD)
    Cloud computing platforms consists large number of physical and virtual resources. With the increasing number of resources, cloud computing platforms management has become more and more complex. Hence, proper resource monitoring is needed. The knowledge of the environment, which we want to monitor help a lot on the monitoring process. Specifically, in private cloud the environment is known; the application which run on top of the infrastructure and the end users are predetermined. Relatively, this knowledge did not consider in private cloud monitoring systems so far. In monitoring systems, it is a well-known practice to define a static threshold as the alert condition, but it would emit some important information if the alert threshold is set to a progressive value (dynamic). This research paper primarily reviews different papers, white papers books and websites to understand state-of-the-art private cloud infrastructure monitoring and current monitoring practices. Then, a new framework is proposed which incorporate private cloud environment knowledge. Next to that, the solution has validated using actual cloud resource utilization, bitbrain workload trace data which is collected from a real cloud environment. This research work verified that the environmental knowledge of private cloud helps to implement dynamic threshold which help to increase resource utilization efficiency and QoS through elasticity. The new proposed framework has two contributions; first it allows private cloud owners to get private cloud-based monitoring system for their cloud environment and researchers in the area will get a better insight about private cloud monitoring.
