==== Description: ====
The target of this project is to monitor from a remote system (e.g. Debian
Sarge) parameters like the cpu(s), memory, nic(s) I/O and disk(s) I/O
utilisation of the dom0 ( no disk utilisation ) and the hosted guest systems
on a XenServer host ( tested with version 4.0.1 and 4.1 ) and to store them (
with rrdtool ) into archives files.

It collects ( polls ) the data from the xapi via xmlrpclib through a https
session. You can monitor several different host systems at once with this
script. Another advantage is, halted or suspended guest systems are not
monitored until the are running again.
 
Furthermore, if you add or delete a guest system, you dont have to do
anything ( since you do not want to save the old rrd files from the deleted
system, you have to delete them manually, if you want to ).
