hi DV, I saw the changelog of 0.7.8, which told the hooks scripts are supported. but is it
took away in 0.8.0-4?

Was still missing from main commits and would be needed for 0.8.0
Add documentation for synchronous hooks
* docs/sitemap.html.in: add in navigation under
Documentation/Deployment/Hooks

+ <body>
+ <h1>Hooks for specific system management</h1>
+ <p>Libvirt includes synchronous hooks starting from version 0.8.0,
+ this is a way to tie specific tailored system actions at specific
+ time. This is based on scripts being called on the Host where the
+ hypervisor is running, if the script is present when the libvirtd
+ daemon is doing some significant actions.</p>
+ <p>The scripts are expected to execute quickly, return a zero exit
+ status if all conditions are set for the daemon to continue the
+ action (non zero will be considered a failure which may
+ be ignored but in general will stops the ongoing operation).
+ The script also should not call back into libvirt as the daemon
+ is waiting for the script exit and deadlock is likely to occur
+ otherwise.</p>
+ <p>The scripts are stored in the directory
<code>/etc/libvirt/hooks/</code>
+ when using a standard installation path
+ (<code>$SYSCONF_DIR/libvirt/hook/</code> in general).</p>
+ <p>The scripts gets arguments as parameter on their command line:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li> the first argument is the name of the object involved in the
+ operation or '-' if there is none.
+ <li> the second argument is the name of the operation.
+ <li> the third argument is a suboperation indication like 'start'
+ 'end' or '-' if there is none.
+ <li> the last argument is an extra argument string or '-' if
there
+ is none.
+ </ul>
+ <p>There is currently scripts for 3 domains of operation:
+ <ul>
+ <li><p><code>/etc/libvirt/hooks/daemon</code> script if
+ present is called at 3 points in time:</p>
+ <p>at daemon startup, typically started with the following
+ arguments:</p>
+ <pre>/etc/libvirt/hooks/daemon - start - start</pre>
+ <p>at daemon shutdown when it is about to exit, with the following
+ arguments:</p>
+ <pre>/etc/libvirt/hooks/daemon - shutdown - shutdown</pre>
+ <p>When the daemon is asked to reload its driver state when
+ receiving the SIGHUP signal, arguments are:</p>
+ <pre>/etc/libvirt/hooks/daemon - reload begin SIGHUP</pre>
+ </li>
+ <li><p><code>/etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu</code> script and
<br/>
+ <code>/etc/libvirt/hooks/lxc</code> to associate hooks for
domain
+ operation on the respective QEmu/KVM and LXC drivers.</p>
+ <p> The domain related hooks also receive the full XML description
+ for the concerned domain on their stdin, which allows to get
+ all the informations from the domain, including UUID or storage
+ if that is needed for the script operation.</p>
+ <p> Currently only domain startup and domain end operations
+ involve the hook, the first one just before the domain gets
+ created.
+ For example if starting a QEmu domain named <code>test</code>
+ the following script will get called:</p>
+ <pre>/etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu test start begin -</pre>
+ <p> note that a non-zero return value from the script will abort the
+ domain startup operation, and if an error string is passed on
+ stderr by the hook script, it will be provided back to the user
+ at the libvirt API level.</p>
+ <p> For domain shutdown, the script will be called just after the
+ domain has finished execution, and the script will get:</p>
+ <pre>/etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu test stopped end -</pre>
+ <p> It is expected that other operation will be associated to hooks
+ but at the time of 0.8.0 only those 2 are associated to domains
+ lifecycle</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p></p>

Hum, no, the support is there, but we don't create the /etc/directory
nor provide any example file. I should do that before 0.8.1, good point.
But the support is there, if you create the directory and add some
scripts, then killall -HUP libvirtd it should rescan the directory
and use the scripts if found.

anyone can provide some simple hook scripts? thanks

Hi Hugh
sorry, I just see this. Do we need a bug to track this problem any
more?

Hello Osier. If the condition still exists, yes, we definitely need a

Hi Hugh
It seems that not provide the sample scripts and directory "/etc/libvirt/hooks"
is okay from the functional view, may be it's just not very kind for end-user. and I
communicated with DV, he said no need to file a bug agaist this.
Thanks
