| 21 | ## Overview |
| 22 | |
| 23 | This collector monitors XenServer and XCP-ng host and domains statistics. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | |
| 26 | |
| 27 | This collector is supported on all platforms. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The plugin needs setuid. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ### Default Behavior |
| 34 | |
| 35 | #### Auto-Detection |
| 36 | |
| 37 | This plugin requires the `xen-dom0-libs-devel` and `yajl-devel` libraries to be installed. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | #### Limits |
| 40 | |
| 41 | The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | #### Performance Impact |
| 44 | |
| 45 | The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | ## Setup |
| 48 | |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ### Prerequisites |
| 51 | |
| 52 | #### Libraries |
| 53 | |
| 54 | 1. Install `xen-dom0-libs-devel` and `yajl-devel` using the package manager of your system. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Note: On Cent-OS systems you will need `centos-release-xen` repository and the required package for xen is `xen-devel` |
| 57 | |
| 58 | 2. Re-install Netdata from source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available and will also build xenstat.plugin. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | |
| 61 | |

| 81 | #### via File |
| 82 | |
| 83 | The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`. |
| 84 | Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:xenstat]` section within that file. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is: |
| 87 | |
| 88 | ```ini |
| 89 | [section1] |
| 90 | option1 = some value |
| 91 | option2 = some other value |
| 92 | |
| 93 | [section2] |
| 94 | option3 = some third value |
| 95 | ``` |
| 96 | You can edit the configuration file using the [`edit-config`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#edit-configuration-files) script from the |
| 97 | Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#locate-your-config-directory). |
| 98 | |
| 99 | ```bash |
| 100 | cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata |
| 101 | sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf |
| 102 | ``` |
| 103 | |
| 104 | ##### Examples |

| 113 | |
| 114 | ## Metrics |
| 115 | |
| 116 | Metrics grouped by *scope*. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. |
| 119 | |
| 120 | |
| 121 | |
| 122 | ### Per Xen XCP-ng instance |
| 123 | |
| 124 | These metrics refer to the entire monitored application. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | This scope has no labels. |
| 127 | |
| 128 | Metrics: |
| 129 | |
| 130 | | Metric | Dimensions | Unit | |
| 131 | |:------|:----------|:----| |
