The use of distributed systems has become increasingly diffused and accessible, especially cloudcomputing, which is used to deliver computational services to small, medium, and large enterprises.Building and maintaining a private cloud infrastructure may not be trivial, due to requirements of beingaccessible from anywhere and at any time. Therefore, monitoring and management activities are essentialto identify and mitigate failures that may occur, and thus keeping service availability. Several studies showthat some failures are caused by a phenomenon called software aging, which refers to the system'sdegradation during its operational life. This paper describes the design and implementation of the DRMonitor, an integrated platform to monitor and mitigate software aging effects in private cloud computinginfrastructures. Several test scenarios demonstrate the operation and effectiveness of this tool, whichempowers the proactive management of distributed computing resources.
