Dear Libvirt: How do I get the progress of a long operation (such as Snapshot take
and recover )through libvirt API?
Thankyou.

virsh exists as a sample of how to do this for several long-running APIs.
Some APIs are (currently) blocking-only; for those, you have to have a
second thread/process open a second connection to the hypervisor to
track ongoing progress (see how 'virsh migrate --verbose' does this).
Others are asynchronous by default, and require you to poll or wait for
an event for the end of the operation; so a single thread can also query
state in the middle of the operation (see how 'virsh blockpull --wait
--verbose' works).
And for some APIs, we just haven't yet implemented job reporting and
status of those jobs (sadly; 'virsh vol-download' is an example of
this); patches are welcome to help us improve these interfaces to use a
more generic job handling mechanism that can let us run multiple jobs in
parallel.

New subject: [libvirt] 回复：How do I get the progress of a long operation
Hi All:
In recent days, I have studied the libvirt event model, but found nothing I wanted.
In my requirement, I want to get the progress of long operations,especially snapshot
taking and revcovering.
Today, I studied how virsh migrate command realised, I found that the process of
migration is getted by job infomation.
But when i taking snapshot the domain's control state is VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROL_OCCUPIED,
not expected VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROL_JOB status,
So i can't get any job information(all values are zero).
Are there any other methods to get the progress of long operation?
Thank you !

I already told you that we don't have very good job support for some
long-running jobs, and that one such long-running job is that of taking
an internal snapshot. Patches are welcome.

Yes, because we don't yet have the ability to interrupt a snapshot
creation task. Job control can only be probed for jobs that have been
wired up to the asynchronous job framework, and taking an internal
snapshot does not yet fit that framework (and it is more than just
libvirt that needs patching; qemu itself does not have a way to
interrupt the HMP 'savevm' command, and does not have a QMP counterpart
command).
So i can't get any job information(all values are zero).

It depends on the job you want to interrupt.
