Abstract
As Cloud Computing evolves to becoming a major technological paradigm of our times, topics like Quality of Service (QoS) assurance and resource monitoring will remain active fields of investigation and research. Mechanisms that will allow the Consumers as well as the Providers to monitor the operation of the application into the Cloud or the Cloud itself are of great importance for the long-term adoption of this technology. In this paper we propose an architectural solution of an integrated monitoring infrastructure for Cloud environments. The mechanism is based on a multi-level design of a collection as well as a management layer. The collection functionality supports information coming from the physical, virtual and service infrastructures. By exploiting open source APIs combined with custom components we have come up with a generic yet efficient solution, applicable to public, private and hybrid Cloud scenarios.
