Number of cores in a socket for a particular job.

Sockets per Node

Number of sockets in a node for a particular job.

Nodes

 

Clock Rate

The expected CPU frequency in MHz.

Total Memory

The memory size in kilobytes (Actual physical RAM on the machine).

Active CPUs

The number of active CPUs.

CPU Model

A string indicating the CPU type (for example, i686).

Scheduler

The name of the system scheduler.

Hypervisor Version

The hypervisor version number.

API Version

The version of the API used by the virtualization layer.

Citrix Xen Domain Configuration

The Citrix Xen Domain Configuration metric group provides configuration information for Citrix Xen domains.

The following table describes the Citrix Xen Domain Configuration metric group.

Metric and available units

Description

Domain Name

Set when the domain is created and has no real correlation to the network name.

Domain ID

The domain numbers that this guest or domain is running as.

Available VCPUs

The maximum number of virtual CPUs the guest was booted with.

Online VCPUs

The number of virtual CPUs currently in use by the domain.

Total Memory

The maximum allowed memory, in kilobytes.

State

The run state of the domain.

UUID

The UUID of this domain.

MAC Address

The first MAC Address that can be found; can be used to identify the domain.

Credit Weight

 

Credit Cap

 

Operating System

The name of the operating system that is running on the virtual machine or domain.

Citrix Xen Domain Statistics

The Citrix Xen Domain Statistics metric group provides statistics for Citrix Xen domains.

The following table describes the Citrix Xen Domain Statistics metric group.

Metric and available units

Description

Domain Name

Set when the domain is created and has no real correlation to the network name.

Domain ID

The domain number this guest or domain is running as; provides a way to correlate this domain with a Citrix Xen Domain Configuration.

Total Memory

The memory, in kilobytes, allocated to the domain (essentially a duplicate from Domain Configuration).

Used Memory

The memory, in kilobytes, used by the domain.

Free Memory

The amount of memory still available on the domain; this is a calculated field.

CPU Time

The CPU time used by this domain.

Uptime

 

Memory Ratio

The ratio of Used Memory to Total Memory; this is a calculated field.

Memory Utilization

The Memory Ratio expressed as a percentage.

Citrix Xen VCPU Statistics

The Citrix Xen VCPU Statistics metric group provides virtual CPU statistics for Citrix Xen systems.

The following table describes the Citrix Xen VCPU Statistics metric group.

Metric and available units

Description

VCPU ID

The virtual CPU identifier.

Domain ID

The domain number this guest or domain is running as; provides a way to correlate this domain with a Citrix Xen Domain Configuration.

Domain Name

Set when the domain is created and has no real correlation to the network name.

CPU Time

The percentage of time that the VCPU was busy.

State

 

Citrix Xen Disk Statistics

The Citrix Xen Disk Statistics metric group provides disk statistics for Citrix Xen systems.

The following table describes the Citrix Xen Disk Statistics metric group.

Metric and available units

Description

Disk Name

The name of the disk as reported by the Citrix Xen hypervisor.

Domain ID

The domain number this guest or domain is running as; provides a way to correlate this domain with a Citrix Xen Domain Configuration.

Domain Name

Set when the domain is created and has no real correlation to the network name.

Read Bytes

The average number of bytes read from the disk.

Write Bytes

The average number of bytes written to the disk.

Total I/O

The average number of Read Bytes plus Write Bytes.

Total I/O Kbs

The average I/O rate, expressed in kilobytes per second.

Citrix Xen Network Interface Statistics

The Citrix Xen Network Interface Statistics metric group provides network interface statistics for Citrix Xen systems.

The following table describes the Citrix Xen Network Interface Statistics metric group.

Metric and available units

Description

Interface Name

The Network Interface name, as returned by the Citrix Xen hypervisor.

Domain ID

The domain number this guest or domain is running as; provides a way to correlate this domain with a Citrix Xen Domain Configuration.

Domain Name

Set when the domain is created and has no real correlation to the network name.

Mac Address

The MAC (48-bit) address of the Ethernet network card.

In Bytes

The number of bytes received by the network interface card.

Out Bytes

The number of bytes transferred by the network interface card.
