Howdy, xenConsole seems to be a viable concept, so I''ve setup a mailing list, created an entry on freshmeat.net and today released a new version - 0.15 - please see forwarded mail below for changes. Screenshot of r0.15: http://freshmeat.net/screenshots/57007/61278/ Please be aware that this is beta-software and the packages are primitive - CPAN packages must also be installed to run xenConsole - see the Readme-file. http://freshmeat.net/projects/xenconsole/ Cheers, Stig ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stig H. Jacobsen <shj@pobox.com> Date: Nov 4, 2005 10:59 PM Subject: xenConsole r0.15-beta is available To: ucck-xenconsole@lists.sourceforge.net News since r0.10: - Additional information from SNMP: Swap, memory, etc. - Config-file for SNMP communities, hosts and more - Support for smaller terminals (80x24) - Lower CPU consumption - Built-in console for debugging - Improved (or added) handling of errors - Bugfixes and minor enhancements Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=142302&package_id=168581&release_id=368553 Homepage: http://ucck.sourceforge.net/xenConsole/ -- Stig _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi Stig, Thanks for the good work, looks really cool! Have you seen the "xenstat" and "XenMon" projects? These are both based on xen-unstable (Xen 3.0). The former provides an "xm top" command based on the output of a statistics-gathering library, the latter provides more low-level information to the system, based on output from the xentrace tool. Although neither of these work on Xen 2.0 you might like to check out what they''ve done - maybe there are ideas or code that you can share? xenConsole looks pretty cool. Will it run on NetBSD also? The upcoming NetBSD 3.0 runs as dom0 and domU under Xen 2.0 so it would be handy if it wasn''t Linux-dependent. Cheers, Mark On Saturday 05 November 2005 00:38, Stig H.

I wasn''t aware of them, but will check them out. The current top-like functionality in xenConsole is limited to what ''xm list'' provides, so I hope to figure out how to access the Xen API from Perl somehow. It also seems pretty wastefull to call a Python script (xm) every few seconds from a Perl script :-)> xenConsole looks pretty cool. Will it run on NetBSD also?Very likely, yes. There is nothing Linux-specific in xenConsole, but I haven''t had a chance to test it on a bsd-box myself, so minor quirks may pop up. It is mostly a POE + Curses::UI application, so if these Perl packages work, then xenConsole should too. -- Stig _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
A little off-topic (sorry), but is there a list of packages that work with or integrate with xen? perhaps a wiki entry to link all of them; otherwise, the knowledge of their existence will only be limited to those who read every single mail here.

There are a lot of dependancies so it would be useful to give some more ideas of the packages required. 2. The compile of Curses:UI:POE needs the resize command, which is part of xutils. This then drags in a lot of packages I dont'' really want in my Dom0 environment.
