The motivation for this API is that management layers that use libvirt usually poll for statistics using various split up APIs we currently provide. To get all the necessary stuff, the app needs to issue a lot of calls and agregate the results. The APIs I'm introducing here: 1) Returns data in a format that we can expand in the future and is (pseudo) hierarchical. The data is returned as typed parameters where the fields are constructed as dot-separated strings containing names and other stuff in a list of typed params. 2) Stats for multiple (all) domains can be queried at once and are returned in one call. This will allow to decrease the overhead necessary to issue multiple calls per domain multiplied by the count of domains. 3) Selectable (bit mask) fields in the returned format. This will allow to retrieve only specific stats according to the apps need. The stats groups will be enabled using a bit field @stats passed as the function argument. A few sample stats groups that this API will support: VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_STATE VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_CPU VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_BLOCK VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_INTERFACE the returned typed params will use the following scheme state.state = running state.reason = started cpu.count = 8 cpu.0.state = running cpu.0.time = 1234 --- include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in | 26 +++++++ src/driver.h | 9 +++ src/libvirt.c | 179 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libvirt_public.syms | 7 ++ 4 files changed, 221 insertions(+) diff --git a/include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in b/include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in index 47ea695..962f740 100644 --- a/include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in +++ b/include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in @@ -2501,6 +2501,32 @@ int virDomainDetachDeviceFlags(virDomainPtr domain, int virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags(virDomainPtr domain, const char *xml, unsigned int flags); +typedef struct _virDomainStatsRecord virDomainStatsRecord; +typedef virDomainStatsRecord *virDomainStatsRecordPtr; +struct _virDomainStatsRecord { + virDomainPtr dom; + unsigned int nparams; + virTypedParameterPtr params; +}; + +typedef enum { + VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_ALL = (1 << 0), /* return all stats fields + implemented in the daemon */ + VIR_DOMAIN_STATS_STATE = (1 << 1), /* return domain state */ +} virDomainStatsTypes; + +int virConnectGetAllDomainStats(virConnectPtr conn, + unsigned int stats, + virDomainStatsRecordPtr **retStats, + unsigned int flags); + +int virDomainListGetStats(virDomainPtr *doms, + unsigned int stats, + virDomainStatsRecordPtr **retStats, + unsigned int flags); + +void virDomainStatsRecordListFree(virDomainStatsRecordPtr *stats); + /* * BlockJob API */ diff --git a/src/driver.h b/src/driver.h index ba7c1fc..d5596ab 100644 --- a/src/driver.h +++ b/src/driver.h @@ -1191,6 +1191,14 @@ typedef int unsigned int flags); +typedef int +(*virDrvDomainListGetStats)(virConnectPtr conn, + virDomainPtr *doms, + unsigned int ndoms, + unsigned int stats, + virDomainStatsRecordPtr **retStats, + unsigned int flags); + typedef struct _virDriver virDriver; typedef virDriver *virDriverPtr; @@ -1411,6 +1419,7 @@ struct _virDriver { virDrvDomainSetTime domainSetTime; virDrvNodeGetFreePages nodeGetFreePages; virDrvConnectGetDomainCapabilities connectGetDomainCapabilities; + virDrvDomainListGetStats domainListGetStats; }; diff --git a/src/libvirt.c b/src/libvirt.c index 8349261..bbbc023 100644 --- a/src/libvirt.c +++ b/src/libvirt.c @@ -21341,3 +21341,182 @@ virConnectGetDomainCapabilities(virConnectPtr conn, virDispatchError(conn); return NULL; } + + +/** + * virConnectGetAllDomainStats: + * @conn: pointer to the hypervisor connection + * @stats: stats to return, binary-OR of virDomainStatsTypes + * @retStats: Pointer that will be filled with the array of returned stats. + * @flags: extra flags; not used yet, so callers should always pass 0 + * + * Query statistics for all domains on a given connection. + * + * Report statistics of various parameters for a running VM according to @stats + * field.
