Would either

I guess they would. I was looking for something like these but the lniks i found were 404s

I got curious and went Wayback (get it?), here's the most recent copy I could find at the original URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20110830190926/https://buildbot.net/buildbot/doc... which is consistent with the link being added a few months earlier with commit ab3a43200c1fd5c39a7dc15ba0ec9d092c606240 Author: Justin Clift <jclift@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jan 20 12:52:21 2011 +1100 docs: added new entries to apps page, plus adjusted a few existing Anyway, as you can see the contents have changed very little in the intervening years, with the first three paragraphs at least being virtually identical between versions. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization

I would say https://www.zenoss.com/product/zenpacks/libvirt-virtualization looks like a reasonable replacement, but seeing as the most recent release was in 2012 and the GitHub account hasn't been touched since then either, I would probably drop the entry altogether. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
