Abstract
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.
