Hello List,
We’re currently managing VMs across approximately 26 physical hosts. We tend to migrate
VMs around a lot to do things like spread load and keep VMs running when physical hosts
are in need of package updates.
Suffice it to say sometimes finding out which physical host a VM is currently running on
can be a pain.
Anyone know of an open source tool that will give me a snapshot of what’s running where
across a list of physical hosts? Doesn’t have to be anything fancy. A command-line
utility will do.
Best,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
mist.io is an open source project and a Saas for managing clouds, servers
and KVM hypervisors. The open source version can be found on
https://github.com/mistio/mist.io
Feel free to open issues on what is missing from an ideal KVM management
solution.
Regards,
Markos

Looks like an interesting project for a number of reasons. Do you guys have a mailing
list though? Cos I’ve run into a couple of installation issues that I need assistance
resolving.

the libvirt command to see what is running is simply 'virsh list'
so if you have a config tool system like puppet/chef/ansible (or even
remote ssh commands) you can simply send that command to each node.
We use ansible, so a simple on liner would be:
ansible all -i virt_list.ini -m command -a 'virsh list' --sudo
where the file virt_list.ini is the list of VM hosts.
That would output a listing that looks like this
host-b2 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
4 vm34 running
5 vm42 running
host-b3 | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
3 vm2 running
5 vm12 running
7 vm33 running
etc.
so you would quickly see whats running where. With a little
grep/awk/perl goodness, it would be trivial to pipe that output into a
DB table that could searched and constantly updated.
The more hardcore ansible guys could make some sort of playbook that
would do the above, but the above shows you the way.
