[libvirt] Where are libvirt configuration files located ?
by Fabien Dupont 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Hello. As there's a /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks directory, where are located configuration files for pools, domains, storage volumes ? How can I autostart a pool, as I don't know where to store its XML Dump ? Your help would be very useful. Thanks. -- Fabien Dupont System Engineer Email : evenit(a)gmail.com

[libvirt] [PATCH] avoid bogus descriptions due to use of gettext with the empty string

[libvirt] [PATCH] 0/8 logging infrastructure for libvirt[d]
by Daniel Veillard 23 Dec '08

23 Dec '08

the following set of patches implement the logging infrastructure based on the discussion about it last month. It is based on the following interfaces, and in a large part reflects the log4j principles. 4 level of logging priorities: typedef enum { VIR_LOG_DEBUG = 1, VIR_LOG_INFO, VIR_LOG_WARN, VIR_LOG_ERROR, } virLogPriority; An output is a channel to output logging informations and a filter is a rule to allow or not log information to flow through. At any given time a set of output and filters can be defined though a public API (but I didn't put them yet in libvirt.h that's still confined in logging.h ATM) /** * virLogOutputFunc: * @data: extra output logging data * @category: the category for the message * @priority: the priority for the message * @msg: the message to log, preformatted and zero terminated * @len: the lenght of the message in bytes without the terminating zero * * Callback function used to output messages * * Returns the number of bytes written or -1 in case of error */ typedef int (*virLogOutputFunc) (void *data, const char *category, int priority, const char *str, int len); /** * virLogCloseFunc: * @data: extra output logging data * * Callback function used to close a log output */ typedef void (*virLogCloseFunc) (void *data); extern int virLogSetDefaultPriority(int priority); extern int virLogDefineFilter(const char *match, int priority, int flags); extern int virLogDefineOutput(virLogOutputFunc f, virLogCloseFunc c, void *data, int priority, int flags); The default priority allows to set a default level of logging, individual logs matching filters will follow the rules defined for the filters, i.e. if the logged data is of a lower level than what the first filter matching it then it is dropped. The internal APIs defines a function to log a message: extern void virLogMessage(const char *category, int priority, int flags, const char *fmt, ...); the category is in general the file name as defined by __FILE__ The matching is done against the category based on a substring, for example "xen" would match all logs emitted by xend_internal.c xen_inotify.c xen_internal.c xen_unified.c Something more complex could be defined for example matching based on regexp or based on the full message content and not just the category but this gets heavier and could be done later using specific flags in virLogDefineFilter. The preferred user interface for setting the output and filters is through environment variables for application linking to libvirt LIBVIRT_DEBUG defines the default logging level from 1 to 4 LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS defines the set filters LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS defines the set outputs and though the configuration file libvirtd.conf for the daemon with the corresponding values: log_level log_filters log_outputs The convenience internal functions virLogParseFilters and virLogParseOutputs parse the format of the values for filters and outputs, so they share the same format explained in libvirtd.conf: ------------------------------------------------------------------ # Logging filters: # A filter allows to select a different logging level for a given category # of logs # The format for a filter is: # x:name # where name is a match string e.g. remote or qemu # the x prefix is the minimal level where matching messages should be logged # 1: DEBUG # 2: INFO # 3: WARNING # 4: ERROR # # Multiple filter can be defined in a single @filters, they just need to be # separated by spaces. # # e.g: # log_filters="3:remote 4:event" # to only get warning or errors from the remote layer and only errors from # the event layer. # Logging outputs: # An output is one of the places to save logging informations # The format for an output can be: # x:stderr # output goes to stderr # x:syslog:name # use syslog for the output and use the given name as the ident # x:file:file_path # output to a file, with the given filepath # In all case the x prefix is the minimal level, acting as a filter # 0: everything # 1: DEBUG # 2: INFO # 3: WARNING # 4: ERROR # # Multiple output can be defined , they just need to be separated by spaces. # e.g.: # log_outputs="3:syslog:libvirtd" # to log all warnings and errors to syslog under the libvirtd ident ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In practice export LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 export LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS="0:file:virsh.log" and then running virsh will accumulate all logging to the virsh.log file in the current directory. One thing which I feel is somewhat incomplete is that it's impossible to remotely get debugging output from the libvirt daemon serving the requests. Currently all logs are also accumulated in a cyclic logging buffer, I would associate a dump function later to be hooked for example to a signal handler in the daemon. But I'm unsure we should allow dumping logging information to the remote end, probably not the whole set. So there is still room for a bit more development, but I think it's usable as-is and already cleans quite a bit of the various logging interface scattered in the various modules.

[libvirt] [PATCH] Unify pool-create-as and pool-define-as xml building
by Cole Robinson 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

The attached patch unifies the xml building and command line option registering for the virsh pool-*-as commands, fixing a few bugs in the process: - pool-define-as was creating <host> without a name attribute (rhbz 476708) - pool-create-as wasn't adding a closing tag to its <host> block - pool-create-as didn't have the source-name option All seem like a good justification for not duplicating the logic. The patch ends up looking a bit bizarre, but it's mostly just moving the xml building from create-as into a separate function buildPoolXML, and then wiring it up. Thanks, Cole

There's a null dereference in the storage driver when defining a pool. Attached patch fixes it for me. Thanks, Cole
