Method for detecting whether virtual machine is idle

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of cloud computing management, in particular to a method for detecting whether a virtual machine is idle. According to the method, firstly, an assessment index set is set and contains a CPU (central processing unit) utilization rate, a memory utilization rate, a network use rate and disk activity time; secondarily, the idle fluctuation range of assessment indexes is set; an assessment time interval and an assessment frequency are set; the assessment index interval fluctuation range of the virtual machine is collected; the idle fluctuation range is compared; finally, whether the virtual machine is limited is judged, if yes, a manager is informed that the virtual machine is idle, and otherwise, the next round of assessment is performed. The idle virtual machine can be timely found, the resource utilization rate is increased, and the method can be used for monitoring the operation state of the virtual machine.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cloud computing management, in particular to a method for detecting whether a virtual machine is idle. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of cloud computing, more and more enterprises build their own private cloud platforms, so that the IT expenses originally borne by various departments are concentrated in one department for unified management of resources, and each department submits resource applications according to business needs. Then the management department approves and approves, and often provides resources by delivering virtual machines, so that the resources can be used reasonably. However, because the IT expenses are no longer borne by the business department, and it is not easy to apply for resources, even if the applied virtual machines are not used, It will not actively submit an application to release resources, which will cause the private cloud platform to seem to sav...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 2. Limit the resource application time of business departments, and recycle resources when they expire

[0007] 1. The data of the questionnaire survey is often not accurate enough, and the harvest is not great;

[0008] 2. Limiting the application time of business departments will lead to multiple applications and waste manpower

[0009] 3. The cost of labor is high. Viewing each virtual machine and analyzing resource utilization takes up most of the time of the operation and maintenance personnel
