Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for acquiring Guest OS statistics, the method comprising: launching a Task Manager on a host node; starting at least one host process; instantiating at least one Virtual Machine (VM) on the host node; launching at least one Guest process on the VM; installing a custom dynamic link library (DLL) having statistic collection function, wherein the custom DLL substitutes for a standard DLL, and renaming the standard DLL; detecting a location of the renamed standard DLL location; saving a direct link to the renamed standard DLL location into the custom DLL; placing the custom DLL into a Task Manager directory; acquiring host OS process statistics via the renamed standard DLL; accessing the custom DLL by the Task Manager and collecting Guest process statistics via standard API calls; and displaying the Guest process statistics and the host OS process statistics as a hierarchical tree in the same graphical interface, wherein the custom DLL has the same name as the standard DLL prior to the renaming.
