GB/T 37736-2019Information technology—Cloud computing—General requirements of cloud resource monitoring (English PDF)

3.1 Cloud Computing

Cloud computing refers to a model of providing and managing scalable and elastic shared physical and virtual resource pools on a demand-based self-service mode through the network.

NOTE: resource includes server, operating system, network, software, application and storage equipment, etc.

[GB/T 32400-2015, Definition 3.2.5] service customers may configurate and utilize computing, storage or network resources. [GB/T 32400-2015, Definition 3.2.25]

3.9 Tenant

Tenant refers to a group of cloud service users with the same access to a set of physical and virtual resources. [GB/T 32400-2015, Definition 3.2.37]

3.10 Virtual Machine

Virtual machine refers to a virtual data processing system which is under the exclusive use of a specific user, but its capabilities are implemented by sharing various resources of a real data processing system. [GB/T 35293-2017, Definition 3.1]

3.11 Virtual Machine Monitor

Virtual machine monitor refers to a layer of software abstraction above the computer hardware layer, which virtually divides computer hardware into one or multiple virtual machines and provides multiple users' access to the physical computer. [GB/T 35293-2017, Definition 3.2]

3.12 Cloud Resource

Cloud resource refers to the provision of resources required by cloud service, including physical or virtual resources.

3.13 Cloud Computing Management Platform

Cloud computing management platform refers is able to provide an operating environment with cloud service deployment, management and operation capabilities based on demand.

7.1 Computing Type

Please refer to Table 1 for the monitoring technology requirements for the computing type of cloud resources.

10.2 Collection Management

Collection management acquires and organizes the performance, alarm and allocation data of cloud resources. Its requirements include

a) Support and define cloud resource collection model, including:

1) Type of cloud resources;

2) Relevant attributes of indicator data of cloud resources, such as: name of indicator, and unit, etc.

3) Collection mode of indicator data of cloud resources.

b) Support data acquisition based on the collection model, which should include:

1) Access parameter value configuration management --- manage the parameter value required to access the various specific cloud resources; examine whether the set parameter value meets the requirements for corresponding cloud resources;

2) Data acquisition --- in accordance with the model of cloud resources, acquire relevant indicator data; in accordance with the operation model, examine the legitimacy of the parameters; support the expansion of the operation and maintain backward compatibility;

3) Data subscription --- through the subscription rules, manage data acquisition behaviors; in accordance with the subscription rules, regularly acquire indicator data from cloud resources and send it to subscribers;

c) Support automatic discovery of cloud resources; automatically complete collection and allocation of cloud resources added or purchased by the cloud computing management platform.

d) Support automatic management of cloud resource changes; in case of deletion or allocation changes of cloud resources, automatically complete collection and management of the changed resources.

e) Support the execution of normalized management of the acquired data; in accordance with a uniform data format, process indicators with the same meaning collected from heterogeneous systems.

f) Support centralized or multi-point collection mechanism; in an individual collection point or distributed collection point, complete the acquisition of […]
