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?
