They rely on the system management tools to collect and reveal the utilization of various performance counters of each virtual machine. Such isolated views cannot disclose the real performance behavior of virtual machines. This paper demonstrates how to interpret the resource utilization of these performance counters cor- rectly and how to automate the performance analysis processes to ease the workload of system administrators. Keywords: System Management; Cloud Computing; System Performance Analysis 1. Introduction 2. Performance Counters Dataset Many people have mentioned about the benefits of adopting Modern operating systems provide application program- the cloud computing for their business. But before these ming interfaces (API) to report the utilization about the benefits can be realized, the performance unpredictability computing resources from kernel. Operating systems also driven by software application behavior and its architect- offer a number of computing resource utilization utilities ture must be seriously resolved especially in a large scale a subset of the system management tools by calling these of cloud computing environment [1]. It is a challenging APIs to help administrators understand the current states task for system administrators to monitor the perf
