Selecting Containers to Create Sample

The information, such as the IP addresses, hostnames, statuses of all the Containers, presented in the Containers table is displayed according to the settings made on the Select Columns drop-down menu. If all the columns are selected, this table presents the following:

Column Name

Description

ID

The ID assigned to the Container.

Name

The name assigned to the Container.

Hostname

The hostname of the Container.

Description

The description of the Container.

IP Address

The IP address assigned to the Container. These are internal IP addresses and are not reachable from the global network. If you want your Container(s) to run global network protocols services, use name-based hosting.

Hardware Node

The IP address of the host Hardware Node.

OS

The operating system installed on the host Hardware Node.

OS Template

The OS template the Container is based on.

Linux Original Sample

The Container sample the Container is based on. The asterisk after the sample name indicates that the Container sample has been customized by changing one or several resource parameters.

T

The virtualization solution (Technology) the Container is based on. Currently Parallels Infrastructure Manager allows you to manage Virtuozzo-based Containers; it will support other virtualization technologies in the future.

CPU

Presents a visual representation showing how much host Hardware Node CPU time the Container is consuming at the moment.

This is a simplified representation that gives you the very general idea of the current resource consumption. To have a more comprehensive resource consumption report for a Container, click its name to open the Container dashboard and open the Resources tab where you need to click the Manage Resources link to open the screen displaying a minute resource consumption description.

Disk

Presents a visual representation showing the current host Hardware Node disk space consumption by the Container

Memory

Presents a visual representation showing the current consumption of the memory resources allocated to the Container.

Alert

Every time a Container consumes more of a resource than is specified by the limit on that resource, or is coming close to that limit, an alert is generated and logged. The green, yellow, or red circle in this column indicates the cumulative resource consumption by the Container. For a more detailed resource alerts description refer to the Monitoring Container Principal Resources subsection.

Enabled

A green tick opposite a Container indicates that this Container is enabled and can be started, a red cross means that the Container is disabled and cannot be started.

Status

The current status of the Container.

To facilitate working with Containers, you may have the Containers table display only those Containers that have a particular ID, hostname, are based on a particular sample, have a definite status (running, stopped, etc.), a particular transition state, a relevant resource alert or are enabled/disabled. On top of the table, press the Show Search link to display the fields where you can specify the parameters the Containers should meet; then click on the Search link. To view all the Containers, click on the Show All link to the right of the parameter fields.
