similar to: Getting CPU and memory usage statistics for the host

Hi folks, is it possible to monitor and gather statistics in realtime (CPU, memory, HDD, network, ... - something like dstat) of guest systems with libvirt through console from host system (KVM based)? If yes, do those guests need to be created through libvirt? Thanks for your help and time.

Hi, I am trying to create a report across all my KVM hypervisors using libvirt API and I need some assistance in figuring out the right API calls. My report will contain the total available memory, CPU, disk across all hypervisors, versus the amount used by the virtual machines. This report will help figure out if we are running low on hypervisor disk, CPU or memory and if we need to add more. I

Hi, After upgrading to libvirt 0.8.1, I can no longer create empty volumes with no backing store and an explicit format of qcow2. This XML volume definition: <volume> <name>testserverb-data2.img</name> <allocation>0</allocation> <capacity units='G'>20</capacity> <target> <format type='qcow2'/>

Hello, Recently I''ve received some complaints that there is excessive but intermittent latency of network traffic to domUs on some of my servers. Upon investigation it seems that on some servers, indeed traffic is occasionally delayed by up to 140ms where something like 5ms RTT would be expected. The average RTT is not unusual; since this is only occasional packets it only affects the

Hi, Sometimes when stopping a virtual domain using virDomainDestroy(), I come across a domain that is already stopped. (For example when someone already stopped the domain manually using virsh or because the guest OS issued a shutdown.) This is a special case that I absolutely need to catch and handle. Unfortunately, when this happens, and I call virGetLastError() afterwards, I always just

Hi, What's the best way to tell if a virConnect object is not good to use anymore? (For example because the libvirtd on the other side crashed/has been stopped or because of some network failure) When I try this, the first API call I do on a broken connection yields an error with error number 38 (VIR_ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR) and all subsequent calls yield an error number 1

Hi Guy, I am trying to figure out how & where can i get the bandwidth usage utilization statistic info for all the VM, so in the end i will be able to use it for metering purpose.. Anyone got any idea ? Regards, Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, Libvirt's nwfilter ships a number of useful filter scripts by default, but none to handle IPv6 traffic. Is there a particular reason for that, or is that just because nobody has got around to that yet? One interesting thing about dealing with IPv6 traffic is that hosts often have several auto-configured addresses, usually at least one auto-configured link- local address under

Hi, What is the difference between chroot & pivot_root. They don't seem obvious based on the man pages apart from the below mentioned caveats. 1) Inherited Open file descriptors, have to be explicitly closed. 2) Does not change CWD of the process, which can be overcome by doing a chdir before & after chroot call. Any information on this would be useful. Thanks,

Hi, According to the docs on http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainDetachDeviceFlags I ought to be able to do virDomainDetachDeviceFlags( <domain>, <devicexml>, VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_LIVE | VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_MODIFY_CONFIG); to detach a volume both from a currently running VM instance and permanently from the defined config file. If I actually try that,

Hi, As the subject line indicates, when I'm calling virDomainCreate() to start a defined domain, and that command fails because the domain is already running at that point, virGetLastError() will return NULL, instead of a proper pointer to an error code. Libvirt will, however, print an error to the console: libvir: QEMU error : Requested operation is not valid: domain is already running

Hi, After recently upgrading to 0.9.11 (as shipped with Fedora 17), I was just trying to migrate a qemu domain from one host to another (using virDomainMigrateToURI()), when I got this error message: Unsafe migration: Migration may lead to data corruption if disks use cache != none Okay, this is explainable (if a bit disappointing - I would have hoped that qemu would be able to disable disk

Hi, I'm trying to install the newest version of libvirt and libvirt-client from the rpms at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ on a Fedora 14 machine. The naming of the rpms as "libvirt-0.9.4-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm" suggests that this is exactly the system this was made for, however, installation still does not go smoothly. When I try to install these packages with yum install

Would it be possible to list the Host sFlow project in the Monitoring section of http://libvirt.org/apps.html? Host sFlow <http://host-sflow.sourceforge.net/> Host sFlow is a light weight agent running on KVM hypervisors that links to libvirt library and exports standardized cpu, memory, network and disk metrics for all virtual machines using sFlow protocol. Thanks, Peter

Hi all, I''ve got XCP 1.0 up and running nicely and would like to use it in production. However I''m struggling with the concept of bandwidth management. It seems like such a common problem that everyone must have, but I can''t find any clear direction in which to go. The dedicated host I am using (Hetzner) gives me a 5TB monthly bandwidth quota which needs to be shared

Hi, I just tried using vol-update to copy an image file to a storage pool, and I noticed that, at least in my configuration (qemu backend, storage pool of type "dir"), this command does not appear to be doing any kind of format conversion. It simply copied the source file as-is over the file in which the target volume was stored with no checks whether that even makes sense. The

Hi , I have two KVM guests in ubuntu host machine.I am using Python binding of Libvirt API to query on the hypervisor and capture the CPU , memory related information of the guest machines. I need to capture the detail information regarding CPU like : cpu_aidle, cpu_idle, cpu_speed, cpu_wio and memory like :mem_cached,mem_buffers,mem_free etc. of the guest machines. How could I get these

Hi Guys I''m trying to measure the traffic of domUs using vnstat without luck.

Hi, I'm using libvirt 0.8.3 on Fedora 14 (as I wrote earlier, I'm having some trouble updating to the newest version), and I'm having problems getting iscsi and mpath storage pools to work in a usable and consistent manner. I have two storage pools defined on the host machine, one for raw iscsi- devices and one for those same iscsi devices device-mapped by multipath. They look
