Monitors included into Other Applications and Services – KVM Guest Machine Status template
The monitors from this application template check KVM guest machine status: harddisk and network errors, host CPU and memory usage. Collects data over SSH. Replace ‘default’ with an actual domain name. This template treats a guest machine as an application running on the hypervisor host. The monitors from this application template collect their data over SSH, hence the sshd daemon should be running on the host and the user from the provided credentials should be a member of ‘libvirtd’ group. The monitors from this application template use the first in ‘virsh list’ output guest machine by default, you can replace the ‘default’ name with an actual domain name in the monitor’s script arguments to monitor an actual guest machine.
