Greetings.
I am interested in finding out what kinds of physical hardware data
can be pulled out of libvirt at present.
In particular, I'm interested in sourcing:
1. All the processor information that would be revealed from
/proc/cpuinfo
-cpu #
-core #
-# cores total
-model
-family
-cpuid_lvl
-speed
-cache
-vendor
-flags
2. The following network device paramters:
-interface name
-mac address
-current ip address
-current netmask
-current broadcast
-current link bandwidth
This post
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-June/msg00236.html)
seemed promising at least wrt. network stuff, and I was wondering if
it ever went anywhere.
So my overall questions:
1. Is this data (specifically, all of it) tracked and exposed by
libvirt at present?
For networking, the first two items will be available in the next
release of libvirt.
The last 4 are not. Yet.
2. If not, are there any plans to do so?
Yes, the discussion you point to petered out due to everybody being
pre-occupied (it may have continued longer on the netcf mailing list),
but it's definitely intended to go in. If I recall correctly, the plan
is to add that functionality to netcf, then publish it via libvirt's
RPC. lutter - am I remembering correctly?
