[libvirt] monitor cpu & network load
Hi, I want to write a program to monitor the CPU and network usage of the Xen domUs. But I don't know how to implement. Can the libvirt APIs help me to do that? Does libvirt have the APIs to get the CPU and network usages? If yes I'll study libvirt APIs. Thanks Zu

Yes,you want to look at virDomainGetInfo virDomainBlockStats virDomainInterfaceStats Regards, 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 :|

Yes, libvirt APIs can do that. However it'll probably be much easier for you to just use 'virt-top --csv ...' which does all the hard work and all you need to do is to parse the generated CSV format.
