The BDWatchdog framework has been developed in order to offer deep diagnostic capabilities when it comes to resource usage, over a wide arrange of infrastructure units, from entire hosts down to individual processes, supporting in the middle virtual machines or containers. This diagnostic is performed by combining both resource monitoring, with the use of time series, as well as flame graphs for profiling. The framework is also capable of working in real-time.

In this page all the documentation is presented for the several modules and utilities that compose the framework.

  • For a brief summary of this tool you can visit its website.
  • In order to see data from real experiments where this tool was used, you can visit this demo.
  • For the uncommented source code you can visit its GitHub.

BDWatchdog has been the subject of a publication in Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS), which is available online. All the technical details are explaine on the full-length paper along with some experimentation.

In this documentation webpage a simpler approach of the framework's architecture is given, in addition to some guidelines for its deployment. The documentation webpage has been structured with the following sections:

  1. Sponsors: Some comments on the backers and sponsors of this framework.

  2. Source Code: If you are interested on the low-level code and code documentation.
