Any comments?
Thanks for the heads up.
My only comment is that generally hosts are already some kind of monitoring daemon (e.g. collectd) -- and this will mean they may have to end up running another.
If there one tht RHEL customers tend to run? If so, perhaps a plugin to that to extract the information would be simpler / less intrusive.
For the guest side, it sounds like you will be inventing a text based protocol to ask for statistical information about the host -- I just wonder if such a protocol already exists. And if there is already a client for that, then the guest side would just be the channel hookup, rather than any client dev.
Cheers,
