We present GOODKIT, a new framework for live virtual machine introspection (LVMI) designed for performance, scalability, and safe integration in modern cloud environments. GOODKIT executes observers as lightweight VMs colocated with the VMM, enabling native-speed access to the target state while preserving strong isolation. GOODKIT introduces fine-grained, lock-aware memory coherence mechanisms, a configurable probing subsystem for I/O and kernel-level events, and a mutualization layer that allows multiple observers to operate concurrently without degrading target performance. Across 21 real world usecases, including rootkit detection, ransomware monitoring, and scheduler introspection, GOODKIT delivers high performance strong isolation, and broad applicability.
