I have been looking into registering some domain events though the python Libvir API. However, I am getting errors and I believe it may be due to lack of event support in Xen. This is the error I am getting:
libvir: Xen error : this function is not supported by the hypervisor: xenUnifiedDomainEventRegister Traceback (most recent call last): File "./testcallback.py", line 19, in ? conn.domainEventRegister(callback,None) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1578, in domainEventRegister if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virConnectDomainEventRegister () failed', conn=self) libvirt.libvirtError: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: xenUnifiedDomainEventRegister
The Xen driver does support events. I think this is probably a misleading error message which in fact is trying to tell you that you need to provide an event loop first. Take a look at examples/domain-events/events-py.py for a good example of how to use events. I've not tested it with Xen recently, but it ought to work Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
