I have an Rocky OpenStack cluster, I want to monitor memory usage of instances.

monitoring of Linux instances is OK but Windows Server instances do not provide any data for memory usage.

I've searched a lot, I've installed balloon driver on windows instances but not worked for me. All components are updated to latest version.

So how can I get memory usage data from them?

Ceilometer measures memory usage; see https://docs.openstack.org/ceilometer.... Normally, measurements are stored in Gnocchi, and you could use the command gnocchi measures show to get the details.

I'm using gnocchi to get data and it works for ubuntu instances like a charm, but in windows instances, "memory.usage" measure not worked at all!

You must be Install the Virtio Balloon driver AND the Balloon service in the guest:

1-Open Device Manager and see if there is an unknown PCI device. If so, right click it and install the driver manually from D:\Balloon\2K16\amd64 (or 2k12, 2k8, etc)

2-Now copy the entire amd64 folder into C:\Program Files\ (NOT x86) and rename it "Balloon". So, now you have the amd64 folder from the disc copied as C:\Program Files\Balloon

3-Open an Administrative Command Prompt and cd to C:\Program Files\Balloon

4-Run this command:

BLNSVR.exe -i
