When you set metadata with type element like the following: dom.setMetadata(libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_METADATA_ELEMENT, "<test/>", 'abc', "HAHAH", 0) Then for `virsh event --all`, then it will output this message: event 'metadata-change' for domain 'rhel9': element HAHAH The message is ambiguous since it looks like the params for metadata-change event is the element HAHAH. Actually that means the type is element while the url is HAHAH. Let's make it more clear.
