First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for monitoring resource usage of a virtual machine, the method comprising:
- instantiating, by a processor unit, the virtual machine;
monitoring, by the processor unit, resource usage of the virtual machine to form monitoring data, wherein the monitoring is performed externally from the virtual machine;
suspending, by the processor unit, the virtual machine; and
responsive to suspending the virtual machine, storing, by the processor unit, the monitoring data as metadata associated with the virtual machine.

Abstract
A computer implemented method monitors resource usage of a virtual machine. When a virtual machine is instantiated, resource usage of the virtual machine is monitored to form monitoring data. The monitoring is performed externally from the virtual machine. When the virtual machine is later suspended, the monitoring data is stored as metadata associated with the virtual machine.
