Hi, I've written a patch to include inactive domains in the guest table available via the libvirt-snmp subagent. This makes it possible to start domains via SNMP (a state transition which AFAICT was previously impossible, because inactive domains never appeared in the SNMP result). The code now collects the IDs of running domains along with the names of declared (but not running) domains and normalizes them into a list of domain pointers, which is then processed by the preexisting SNMP container row allocation code. The change was fairly straightforward, but certainly there might be Good Reasons it wasn't already implemented. As part of this change, the other (noteworthy) change I made was to move calls to virDomainFree() to the end of libvirtSnmpLoadGuests() since I have to free all of the used domain pointers there anyway. Some other issues which may need to be addressed: - This will be a breaking change for anyone who assumes that the old behavior is still in place (i.e., that the guest table only includes non-shutdown domains). However, it might not be *that* bad because the domain rows already included a 'state' that one could already filter on. - I don't know if there exists other code in libvirt-snmp that assumes inactive domains can't appear in the table. - I have not tested the inactive -> active state transition (because I don't want to enable writable SNMP OIDs on my server). Please let me know if there is anything further I need to do to make the patch acceptable. Thanks for libvirt-snmp! -- Jonathan Daugherty Software Engineer Galois, Inc.
