[ovirt-users] Empty cgroup files on centos 7.3 host

[Florian Schmid]

Hi Yaniv, 

thank you for your answer! I haven't known, that there is already such a monitoring tool on ovirt. 

We will sure give it a try, but we have already in our environment a monitoring tool, that's why I wanted to add those values, too. 

How does collectd get this data from libvirt, when the corresponding cgroup values are empty?

Hi, 

I wanted to monitor disk IO and R/W on all of our oVirt centos 7.3 hypervisor hosts, but it looks like that all those files are empty. 



We have a very nice integration with Elastic based monitoring and logging - why not use it. 
On the host, we use collectd for monitoring.

I thought, I can get my needed values from there, but all files are empty. 

Looking at this post: [ http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-January/079011.html | http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-January/079011.html ] 
this should work. 

Is this normal on centos 7.3 with oVirt installed? How can I get those values, without monitoring all VMs directly? 

oVirt Version we use: 
4.1.1.8-1.el7.centos
