Improving the scalability of cloud monitoring service by low communication overhead mechanisms

International Journal of Networking and Virtual Organisations (IJNVO), Vol. 23, No. 1, 2020

Abstract: With the rapid growth of cloud platforms, an effective monitoring service is playing a more and more important role to provide enhanced quality-of-service (QoS) for a variety of cloud users and providers. Unfortunately, the overhead of large-scale monitoring on a large number of cloud resources tends to be prohibitive and brings a lot of negative effects. In this paper, we present three effective mechanisms, including sliding-window monitoring mechanism, monitoring event mining and filtering mechanism, and self-tuning data transferring mechanism, to handle with different kinds of communication overhead. A set of experiments are conducted to evaluate the proposed mechanisms in a real-world cloud platform, and the results indicate these mechanisms are very helpful to reduce the communication overhead in different monitoring scenarios.
