This plugin collects metrics from Linux KVM debug statistics.
It's used in the Snap framework.
Plugin collects specified metrics from linux kvm
- golang 1.7+ - needed only for building
- This Plugin compatible with kernel > 2.6
- Linux/x86_64
- Linux/amd64
You can get the pre-built binaries for your OS and architecture under the plugin's release page. For Snap, check here.
Fork https://github.com/intelsdi-x/snap-plugin-collector-kvm
Clone repo into $GOPATH/src/github.com/intelsdi-x/:
$ git clone https://github.com/<yourGithubID>/snap-plugin-collector-kvm.git
Build the snap kvm plugin by running make within the cloned repo:
$ make
This builds the plugin in ./build/
Set up the snap framework.
Load the plugin and create a task, see example in Examples.
This collector gathers metrics from kvm.
List of collected metrics is described in METRICS.md.
Example of running snap kvm collector and writing data to file.
Ensure snap daemon is running:
- initd:
service snap-telemetry start - systemd:
systemctl start snap-telemetry - command line:
snapteld -l 1 -t 0 &
