Monitor

While the XenoServer is running, you can use the Monitoring Tool to oversee client activity (e.g. the number of VMs created, the available and consumed resources) and carry out management operations. To start the monitoring tool, click on "monitor" in the main window of the XenoServer management tool (the one below):

 

View Sumary Data

This will launch the "summary" view of the monitoring tool, shown below. This shows the declared resources and pricing schemes, and the current total availability of each resource. Click on the "sessions" pane to get more detailed information about currently active sessions.

 

View Running Sessions

You should now be able to see the list of sessions that are currently active on the server. Selecting a session from the table above displays (in the table below) detailed information about the resource consumption incurred by the session - and the associated costs. You can force the destruction of a session at any time (which will permanently remove it from the system), or simply pause it for some time and then unpause it.
