[Xen-devel] Error getting VM-informations with Python on Xen 3.0.2
Hi all, I wrote a small python-script to monitor the status of the started VMs based on the xenmon.py and the following code I got from Anthony Liguori: ---------------------------------------- import sys sys.path.append(''/usr/lib/python'') sys.path.append(''/usr/lib64/python'') from xen.xend.XendClient import server from xen.xend import sxp def parse_doms_info(info): def get_info(n, t, d): return t(sxp.child_value(info, n, d)) return { ''dom'' : get_info(''domid'', int, -1), ''name'' : get_info(''name'', str, ''??''), ''mem'' : get_info(''memory'', int, 0), ''vcpus'' : get_info(''online_vcpus'', int, 0), ''state'' : get_info(''state'', str, ''??''), ''cpu_time'' : get_info(''cpu_time'', float, 0), ''ssidref'' : get_info(''ssidref'', int, 0), } doms = server.xend_list_domains() print ''Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)'' for dom in doms: d = parse_doms_info(dom) if (d[''ssidref''] != 0): d[''ssidstr''] = (" s:%04x/p:%04x" % ((d[''ssidref''] >> 16) & 0xffff, d[''ssidref''] & 0xffff)) else: d[''ssidstr''] = "" print ("%(name)-32s %(dom)3d %(mem)8d %(vcpus)5d %(state)5s% (cpu_time)7.1f% (ssidstr)s" % d) ---------------------------------------- I wrote the script on SUSE SLES 10.0 Beta 3 with Xen 3.0_8659-2. Unfortunately this script (and therefor my one too) ist not running anymore with the latest SUSE SLES 10.0 Beta 9 that includes Xen 3.0.2_09434-2 :-( It breaks at line "doms = server.xend_list_domains()" with the following error: ---------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "xentest1.py", line 22, in ? doms = server.xend_list_domains() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1096, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1383, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/util/xmlrpclib2.py", line 46, in request return Transport.request(self, host, ''/RPC2'', request_body, verbose) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1147, in request return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 1286, in _parse_response return u.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/xmlrpclib.py", line 744, in close raise Fault(**self._stack[0]) xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: ''Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/util/xmlrpclib2.py", line 74, in _marshaled_dispatch\n response = self._dispatch(method, params)\n File "/usr/lib/python2.4/SimpleXMLRPCServer.py", line 408, in _dispatch\n raise Exception(\''method "%s" is not supported\'' % method)\nException: method "xend_list_domains" is not supported\n''> ---------------------------------------- If I see right it now uses "/usr/lib/python2.4/SimpleXMLRPCServer.py" (what does not exist in Xen 3.0_8659-2) and breaks because the method "xend_list_domains" is not supported anymore I use to get the domain-informations with the script. Is there a better way to get the VM-status like name, memory, state, CPU-usage etc. via Python than using the mechanism from xenmon.py and the above one?

This changed with the new XML-RPC interface, courtesy of the aforementioned hacker.

The XML-RPC interface will stabilise in time, but at the moment, it''s not documented. The Python interface on top of the XML-RPC is not documented either, since it''s only a stub onto the XML-RPC, now. The only interfaces that are guaranteed currently are those required to support old guests on new hypervisors. Everything else is subject to change. The best way for you to keep up is to get your code into the tree, preferably with a unit test or two, and then there''s a fair chance that it won''t be broken as things change.
