-
Network connectivity and latency between two VMs attached to a secondary network interface
-
VM running a Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) workload with zero packet loss
-
Cluster storage is optimally configured for OpenShift Virtualization
-
- Prometheus queries for virtual resources
-
Query vCPU, network, storage, and guest memory swapping usage and live migration progress.
- VM custom metrics
-
Configure the
node-exporterservice to expose internal VM metrics and processes. - VM health checks
-
Configure readiness, liveness, and guest agent ping probes and a watchdog for VMs.
- Runbooks
