Cloud monitoring: Definitions, issues and future directions

Despite its importance for operating Cloud systems, Cloud monitoring has received limited attention from the research community. In this position paper, we provide an analysis of Cloud monitoring. More precisely, we discuss the main motivations, basic concepts and definitions, and point out open research issues and future directions for Cloud monitoring.
