Hi all,
I'm a graduate student in Shanghai, and will do experiment about live migration using
KVM as hypervisor.
Due to my demand, I want to get each iteration time and downtime in migration.
I found there is no API to implement it, and how can I obtain data I want?
Thanks very much.
Best wishes,
Yale Yuan

Libvirt provides virDomainGetJobStats API which gives you all migration
statistics data provided by QEMU (via query-migrate QMP command). If you
need something more, you would need to add reporting of the required
additional statistics to QEMU first.

Jiri thank you, and I will attempt to do some research using virDomainGetJobStats API.
Any stupid questions I will ask you later if necessary. :)
Best wishes,

Jiri, sorry for my stupid.
I read your instruction about your API, but there is no function do get 'iteration
time'.
Does that mean I should implement it by myself?
And if I want to get the dirty page bitmap, should I review libvirt source code and print
information to log file during migration?
Best wishes,
Yale Yuan

Right, you can only get downtime. The reason is that QEMU does not
provide statistics about iteration time.

Well, it's not libvirt where you need to be looking. The migration is
done in QEMU, libvirt just controls it. In other words, you need to go
to QEMU sources to get more statistics about migration. And in case you
need any guidance or answers for your questions, qemu-devel(a)nongnu.org
is the primary list for QEMU developers.

I found that QEMU do migration and libvirt invoke it
Thanks your help, Jiri!!!!!
I will view QEMU source code ~~~!!!
