Abstract
A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for monitoring a virtual machine in a distributed computing system. An out-of-virtual machine monitor receives, via an out-of-band path, disk and memory state data of the virtual machine exposed in a hypervisor hosting the virtual machine. The out-of-virtual machine monitor interprets logical information from the virtual machine disk and memory state data. The out-of-virtual machine monitor parses the logical information to extract related system or log information for a monitoring endpoint. The out-of-virtual machine monitor translates the system or log information to a standard format expected by the monitoring endpoint. The out-of-virtual machine monitor forwards a monitoring data stream to the monitoring endpoint.
