RE: [Xen-devel] Monitoring domU real memory usage
|
This
information is not available from domain0 by default but can be sent from each
domU via xenstore. Look at the shell scripts in xenballoond for an example
of how to do that. Basically, you need a shell script running in each domU
to put the information (e.g. /proc/meminfo) into xenstore and a shell script in
dom0 to read it and print it.
Precisely
I want to know how much of the memory is free and active, like we get
the mem usage % for apps from top in linux. Thanks,
Bhavani
