A method and system for attributing resource usage of a virtual machine across hosts and guests
By collecting and aligning resource consumption data between the host and guest machines in the virtualization system, the problems of fragmented resource statistics and misalignment of time dimensions are solved, enabling refined attribution of virtual machine resources and improving the accuracy and availability of resource monitoring.

AI Technical Summary
In virtualization scenarios, existing technologies struggle to accurately reflect the resource usage of the virtual machine as a whole or its internal modules. Resource statistics are fragmented, lack cross-system correlation mechanisms, and are not aligned with time dimensions, making it impossible to support fine-grained attribution and resulting in inaccurate resource monitoring results.
By collecting resource consumption data from the host system and the client system, aligning timestamps using a two-way time calibration mechanism, establishing a cross-system mapping relationship, and allocating the host system's resource consumption data to the client system's virtual CPU or functional modules based on a preset strategy, resource attribution results are generated.
It enables refined statistics on resource usage across host and guest systems, improving the accuracy and availability of resource monitoring in virtualization systems, and supporting refined resource attribution for the virtual machine as a whole and its internal functional units.
