[libvirt] [PATCH v3 0/9] add virDomainGetGuestInfo()
Posted by Jonathon Jongsma 5 years, 3 months ago
changes in v3:
- fixed test failure
- fixed syntax issues that I had missed since I forgot to install cppi on my
  new laptop

This series adds several bits of guest information provided by a new API
function virDomainGetGuestInfo(). There is an implementation for qemu using the
guest agent. In particular, it adds information about logged-in users, guest
OS, timezone, hostname, and filesystem info.

Filesystem information is already accessible via the public API
virDomainGetFSInfo(), but recent versions of the qemu guest agent added
additional information, and the existing public API is not able to be extended
without breaking API since it returns a C struct. This new API uses typed
parameters so that it can be extended as necessary when new fields are added.

The overall API follows the bulk stats API quite closely, and tries to return
data in similar ways (for example, the "users.N.*" field name scheme was
inspired by various stats fields).

It should be noted that like version 1 of this patch series, the API still only
operates on a single domain, not a list of domains. I'm willing to consider
changing the API to operate on a list of domains if that is the concensus, but
I lean toward keeping it simpler.

Here's an example of the output of the virsh command added in this patch
operating on a fedora 30 guest:
virsh # guestinfo fedora30
user.count          : 1
user.0.name         : test
user.0.login-time   : 1566422940895

fs.2.disk.0.device  : /dev/vdb1
fs.2.disk.1.alias   : vdc
fs.2.disk.1.device  : /dev/vdc1

In contrast, here is the output of the virsh command operating on a fedora24
guest:
virsh # guestinfo  fedora24
error: Reconnected to the hypervisor
fs.count            : 2
fs.0.name           : dm-0
fs.0.mountpoint     : /
fs.0.fstype         : ext4

fs.1.name           : vda1

fs.1.fstype         : ext4
fs.1.disk.count     : 1
fs.1.disk.0.alias   : vda

However, if you specifically request an info category that is not supported by
the guest agent:
virsh # guestinfo --user fedora24
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU agent command 'guest-get-users': The command guest-get-users has not been found

I've fixed patches 1-8 as I reviewed them. Howver, I was too lazy to fix 
9/9 so if you can fix it and send again that'd be great. Also, if you 
want, I'm raising a small issue in 8/9 that should be fixed too.

Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v3 0/9] add virDomainGetGuestInfo()
Posted by Daniel Henrique Barboza 5 years, 3 months ago
Tested the patch series with a ppc64 guest, using upstream QEMU
in a Power8 host:

$ sudo ./run tools/virsh guestinfo qga-test
user.count          : 1
user.0.name         : danielhb
user.0.login-time   : 1566588366375
os.id               : ubuntu
os.name             : Ubuntu
os.pretty-name      : Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
os.version          : 18.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
os.version-id       : 18.04
os.machine          : ppc64le
os.kernel-release   : 4.15.0-29-generic
os.kernel-version   : #31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 17 15:37:15 UTC 2018
timezone.name       : CDT
timezone.offset     : -18000
hostname            : ubuntu1804
fs.count            : 1
fs.0.name           : vda2
fs.0.mountpoint     : /
fs.0.fstype         : ext4
fs.0.disk.count     : 1
fs.0.disk.0.alias   : vda


Looks good to me.



Thanks,


DHB
