Virtual machine introspection (VMI) is a technique for externally monitoring the runtime state of a system-level virtual machine.[1]
VMI tools are typically located outside the virtual machine (e.g., in the virtual machine monitor[2]) and act by tracking the events (interrupts, memory writes, and so on) or sending the requests to the virtual machine. Virtual machine monitor usually provides low-level information like raw bytes of the memory. Converting this low-level view into something meaningful for the user is known as the semantic gap problem.
