Hello all,
I want to monitor my VMs with a Java application.
Is there a possibility to register an observer or the like which is
triggered e.g. after the state of a VM has changed?
Or is the only way to use a timer which polls all VMs every xy minutes?
The C library has an API which allows you to register a callback to
received asynchronous events upon domain state changes. I remember
that there was some work to expose this in Java, but I think it got
blocked on work to make the library fully thread safe. So there may
still be a little more work required in the Java binding. There
underlying capability definitely exists though, so if you're at all
familiar with Java JNI you ought to be able to get something working.
