Re: [libvirt] RFE: virsh list improvement (--description and --details)

Dear Michal and Pavel,   We cover about 100 clients who have their own and simple CentOS KVM  installations. Their technical skills are far from writing python scripts. They expect  simple solutions.

Talking to our helpdesk, I found that 70% of libvirt and virtualization  problems are: A) lack of autostart activation on critical guests; then occasional  failures and reboots affect lack of automatic startup of key services, B) frequent overcommiting of allocated virtual processors and memory due  to the lack of basic planning and addition operations of local admin  stuff :-(, C) misconfiguration of qemu-agent, which affects many problems with safe  restart, snapshot, backup, etc. (the "Time" column is a perfect  diagnostic here) D) leaving unnecessary snapshots that lie unused after many months, E) live migration attempts that fail to put domain in a transient mode  leave the guests disappearing in unexplained circumstances after kvm  host restart :-)   Virtually all the above problems of everyday life, our helpdesk is now  able to diagnose by command: virsh list --details --managed-save By the way, they can easily update the documentation with one compact list.   I do not understand your dislike for the proposed changes. All the  members of our team and teams of our partners have been very  enthusiastic about the new functionality. You govern, so you have to decide. ;-)
