libvirt users - Aug 2012 - Determine state of the guest OS/kernel from host

Hello,
Is there a way to determine state of the qemu/kvm guest OS
(rebooting/working/hung etc) from the host. I'm not referring to the qemu
domain state itself

Thanks in advance.

Well, I don't quite understand how would you do this on real host other
than looking at its screen.
Anyway, libvirt allows mgmt applications to peek into guest memory and
dump it. This is how virt-dmesg works [1]. So maybe it would be handful
example for you.
