This test continuously the target OpenStack KVM hypervisor and reports the count of virtual machines (VMs) that are in different states. This test enables administrators to instantly determine how many VMs are currently running on the target hypervisor and how many VMs are deleted/stopped/paused/suspended. In addition, the test also reveals the count of VMs that encountered unrecoverable errors. Using the metrics reported by this test, administrators can promptly identify the reason for inaccessibility of the VMs whenever users complain of the same.

No_of_vm_deleted	Indicates the number of VMs that are deleted.	Number	Used the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and status of each VM that is deleted, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_error	Indicates the number of VMs that encountered unrecoverable error.	Number	Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. Used the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and status of each VM that encountered errors, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_paused	Indicates the number of VMs that are currently paused with a specific image.	Number	Used the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and status of each VM that is in ‘Paused’ state, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_rescued	Indicates the number of VMs that are currently running with the rescue image.	Number	Used the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and status of each VM that is currently running with rescue image, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_resized	Indicates the number of VMs that are currently in the RESIZED state.	Number	If a VM is in the RESIZED state, then it indicates that the VM is stopped on the source node but running on the destination node. The VM images exist at both source and destination locations with different sizes. The user is expected to confirm the resize or revert it. Used the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and status of each VM that is in ‘RESIZED’ state, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_shelved	Indicates the number of VMs that are currently in the SHELVED state.	Number	Shelved VMs can be in one of two possible states: shelved and shelved_offloaded. If a VM is in the shelved state, then it indicates that the VM is still present on the target hypervisor but is in inactive state. When the VM is moved to in shelved_offloaded state, it indicates that the VM has been removed from the hypervisor and the resources allocated to the VM are released. Used the detailed diagnosis of these measures to know the name and status of each VM that is in ‘SHELVED_OFFLOAD’ and ‘SHELVED’ state, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_shelved_off	Indicates the number of VMs that are currently in the SHELVED_OFFLOAD state.	Number	Shelved VMs can be in one of two possible states: shelved and shelved_offloaded. If a VM is in the shelved state, then it indicates that the VM is still present on the target hypervisor but is in inactive state. When the VM is moved to in shelved_offloaded state, it indicates that the VM has been removed from the hypervisor and the resources allocated to the VM are released. Used the detailed diagnosis of these measures to know the name and status of each VM that is in ‘SHELVED_OFFLOAD’ and ‘SHELVED’ state, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_soft_delete	Indicates the number of VMs that are currently in the SOFT_DELETED state.	Number	A VM is moved to the SOFT_DELETED state, when the VM is no longer running on the hypervisor but the image of the VM remains on the disk so that the VM can be configured again. Used the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and status of each VM that is in ‘SOFT_DELETED’ state, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_stopped	Indicates the number of VMs that are currently in the STOPPED state.	Number	The STOPPED state is reported when the VM is stopped working completely but the image of the VM is still available on the disk. Used the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and status of each VM that is in ‘STOPPED’ state, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
No_of_vm_suspended	Indicates the number of VMs that are currently in the SUSPENDED state.	Number	The state of VM is reported as SUSPENDED when the VM is suspended with the specified image, with a valid memory snapshot. Used the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the name and status of each VM that is in ‘SUSPENDED’ state, IP addresses and host name of each VM, name of the availability zone, key name, date at which the VM was created, ID of each VM, ID of the project, flavor ID, and image ID.
