Cloud users have recently expanded dramatically. The cloud service providers (CSPs) have also increased and have therefore made their infrastructure more complex. The complex infrastructure needs to be distributed appropriately to various users. Also, the advances in cloud computing have led to the development of interconnected cloud computing environments (ICCEs). For instance, ICCEs include the cloud hybrid, intercloud, multi-cloud, and federated clouds. However, the sharing of resources is not facilitated by specific proprietary technologies and access interfaces used by CSPs. Several CSPs provide similar services but have different access patterns. Data from various CSPs must be obtained and processed by cloud users. To ensure that all ICCE tenants (users and CSPs) benefit from the best CSPs, efficient resource management was suggested. Besides, it is pertinent that cloud resources be monitored regularly. Cloud monitoring is a service that works as a third-party entity between customers and CSPs. This paper discusses a complete cloud monitoring survey in ICCE, focusing on cloud monitoring and its significance. Several current open-source monitoring solutions are discussed. A taxonomy is presented and analyzed for cloud resource management.

resources. Specifically, monitoring provides the means of knowing the status and availability of the physical resources and services within the cloud infrastructure. This results in making ''monitoring of resources'' one of the key aspects of the cloud resource management taxonomy. However, managing the resources in a secure and scalable manner is not easy, particularly when considering a federated cloud environment. A federated cloud is used and shared by many multi-cloud tenants and at various cloud software stack levels. As a result, there is a need to reconcile all the tenants' diverse monitoring requirements. To cover all aspects relating to the monitoring of resources in a federated cloud environment, we present the FEDerated Architecture for Resource manaGement and mOnitoring in cloudS Version 1.0 (FEDARGOS-V1), a cloud resource monitoring architecture for federated cloud infrastructures. The architecture focuses mainly on the ability to access information while monitoring services for early identification of resource constraints within short time intervals in federated cloud platforms. The monitoring architecture was deployed in a real-time OpenStack-based FEDerated GENomic (FEDGEN) cloud testbed. We present experimental results in order to evaluate our design and compare it both qualitatively and quantitatively to a number of existing Cloud monitoring systems that are similar to ours. The architecture provided here can be deployed in private or public federated cloud infrastructures for faster and more scalable resource monitoring.
