libvirt users - Oct 2012 - Using libvirt to monitor virtual environment.

Hey,

I am new with libvirt. I am working to create a program to monitor a
virtual environment. I have seen some solutions that use libvirt. Is this
API good to make monitoring operations? I didn't see operations that show
the CPU or memory usage, at least in Java binding. Are there operations
like these, or we have to calculate based on lower level informations?

You may be interested in looking at 'virt-top', which is an example of
tracking CPU usage on top of libvirt APIs, for how best to do things.  I
don't specifically know of a Java client that does the same, but it
should be fairly straightforward to translate the API calls used by
virt-top into the Java bindings for libvirt.
