[Libvir] API confusion...
Since I am kind of an idiot and don't know what I am doing...I am having trouble with getting network stats to work in Python. I have everything correct...but I am just not sure exactly what it is looking for. I get this error: libvir: Xen error : invalid argument in xenHypervisorDomainInterfaceStats: invalid path, should be vif<domid>.<n>. I guess I just need some kind of example to work from on this. -- Spencer Parker _______________________________________________________ "if you can't go to heaven, may you at least die in Ireland." _______________________________________________________

As described in the error message, try setting the path to something like "vif1.0" where 1 is the domain ID and 0 is the interface number. You can enumerate interfaces available by dumping the domain XML.

When I pull out network stats...it just gives me a tuple. Is there any documentation on what this is actually displaying so I can format accordingly? On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 12:12 AM, Richard W.M. Jones <rjones@redhat.com> wrote:

I'm assuming this is the python bindings, in which case the tuple has these fields: http://libvir.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainInterfaceStatsStruct rx = receive, tx = transmit A value of -1 in any field means no data is available.
