Low overhead performance monitoring for shared infrastructures

作者:

Highlights:

• This work analyzes the influence of monitoring overhead in virtualized environments.

• Results revealed a significant resource contention introduced by monitoring activity.

• Choosing only relevant counters reduces monitoring overhead and monetary costs.

• The proposed approach reduces the data dimensionality by means of feature selection.

• With our approach, the overhead can be one third lower than that usually observed.
