The following examples show the host usage statistics for a host
called devstack.
List the hosts and the nova-related services that run on them:
$ nova host-list +-----------+-------------+----------+ | host_name | service | zone | +-----------+-------------+----------+ | devstack | conductor | internal | | devstack | compute | nova | | devstack | cert | internal | | devstack | network | internal | | devstack | scheduler | internal | | devstack | consoleauth | internal | +-----------+-------------+----------+
Get a summary of resource usage of all of the instances running on the host:
$ nova host-describe devstack +-----------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+---------+ | HOST | PROJECT | cpu | memory_mb | disk_gb | +----------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+---------+ | devstack | (total) | 2 | 4003 | 157 | | devstack | (used_now) | 3 | 5120 | 40 | | devstack | (used_max) | 3 | 4608 | 40 | | devstack | b70d90d65e464582b6b2161cf3603ced | 1 | 512 | 0 | | devstack | 66265572db174a7aa66eba661f58eb9e | 2 | 4096 | 40 | +----------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+---------+
The
cpucolumn shows the sum of the virtual CPUs for instances running on the host.The
memory_mbcolumn shows the sum of the memory (in MB) allocated to the instances that run on the host.The
disk_gbcolumn shows the sum of the root and ephemeral disk sizes (in GB) of the instances that run on the host.The row that has the value
used_nowin thePROJECTcolumn shows the sum of the resources allocated to the instances that run on the host, plus the resources allocated to the virtual machine of the host itself.The row that has the value
used_maxrow in thePROJECTcolumn shows the sum of the resources allocated to the instances that run on the host.
![]() | Note |
|---|---|
These values are computed by using information about the flavors of the instances that run on the hosts. This command does not query the CPU usage, memory usage, or hard disk usage of the physical host. |
