Re: [libvirt] 'dommemstat' is not working for LXC hypervisor.
Thanks ozaki.
But can you please elaborate the process of getting memory.stat of a particular domain?
I mounted cgroup filesystem prior to start libvirtd service using the below command:
mount -t cgroup cgroup /cgroup
Then started libvirtd service.
Then started the domain.
Here, can you let me know the process of viewing memory stats of that particular domain?
By the way, in the /cgroup directory lot of files are created. In those, which one can be
memory stats?
Regards,
Srikanth.

Daniel,
My requirement is to get how much memory is free in the guest domain.
Can you please let me know, how can I do that?
Do you enable cgroup memory subsystem? If so, something wrong in lxc driver of 0.8.0.
BTW, 'Used memory' includes both RSS and caches, so if you need total-RSS value,
you should use dommemstat.
And also, as you said it's quite easy to implement dommemstats
for lxc
driver, is there any possibility to implement that?
We can get statistics of dommemstat easily through memory.stat of cgroup.memory subsystem
except statistics of page faults.

The 'Max memory' 5000000 KB is the hard limit that is allocated to the
container. I thought that the 'used memory' field would be lower, but
its possible we don't have the actual stats for used memory so just
set both the same. I'd have to research the code again to answer for sure...
