This topic provides you information about the monitor types available in the Linux Virtualization monitor profile.
KVM is a full virtualization solution for Red Hat Enterprise Linux on x86-64 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). The Linux Virtualization monitor type allows you to monitor your Kernel-based virtual machines.
The following table lists the monitor types (or application classes) monitored by the Linux Virtualization monitor profile. By default, the KM loads all these monitor types.
The Linux virtualization platforms monitoring requires root user permission. To make sure that you have this permission, perform one of the following actions:
Action
Details
Option 1 - Configure PATROL root user to be the monitoring user
Set the /ConfigData/AgentSetup/defaultAccount pconfig variable with the root user credentials.
Restart PATROL Agent.
Option 2 - Change the permission levels of the monitoring binary files
Connect to the virtualization host as root user.
Run the following commands: chown root $PATROL_HOME/../unix/Linux-2-6-x86-64-nptl/bin/listguests64 chmod 4755 $PATROL_HOME/../unix/Linux-2-6-x86-64-nptl/bin/listguests64
If the virtualization host is Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7.0 or earlier, run the following commands: chown root $PATROL_HOME/../lib/psl/Linux-2-6-x86-64-nptl/nukserver.xpc chmod 4755 $PATROL_HOME/../lib/psl/Linux-2-6-x86-64-nptl/nukserver.xpc
