Abstract: Abstract Cloud monitoring is a task of paramount importance for both providers and consumers. On one side, it is a key feature for controlling and managing the infrastructures; on the other side, it provides information and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for both platforms and applications. In order to overcome conflict of interest coming from monitoring data collected by the same provider that is supplying the Cloud environment, a third-party monitoring infrastructure is desirable. However, even if this monitoring infrastructure is available to check performance indexes on a Cloud infrastructure, this framework remains unaware with respect to the specific application that is running on the environment, without any knowledge about its components’ distribution.In this work we present an architecture and a prototypal implementation of an agent-based framework that allows the configuration of a monitoring infrastructure for Cloud applications, giving the possibility to customize both the application stressing tests and the analysis of the benchmarking data in order to shape the monitoring infrastructure to the specific application.
