Hi All,
Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to solve my problem. I've tried various way to configure Cgroups to enable VM monitoring by a non-root user with no luck. My current /etc/cgconfig.conf is the following:
group sysdefault {
perm {
task {
uid = anton;
gid = root;
}
admin {
uid = anton;
gid = root;
}
}
}
mount {
cpuacct = /mnt/cgroups/cpuacct;
}
Where "anton" is a non-root user. However, this doesn't work. Here is a simple test:
$ virsh start cirros
$ virsh cpu-stats cirros
error: Failed to virDomainGetCPUStats()
error: Requested operation is not valid: cgroup CPUACCT controller is not mounted
Where cirros is a VM image. Everything is fine for the root user:
$ sudo virsh start cirros
$ sudo virsh cpu-stats cirros
CPU0:
cpu_time 0.025812184 seconds
vcpu_time 0.025812184 seconds
CPU1:
cpu_time 4.893484927 seconds
vcpu_time 4.893484927 seconds
Total:
cpu_time 4.924620941 seconds
user_time 1.060000000 seconds
system_time 3.050000000 seconds
I would be very grateful to get any suggestions from anyone.
Thanks,
Anton

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for the links. I see now that there is an option to assign permissions to access control groups for non-root users. I'll try to configure it and post back the results.
Best regards,
Anton

Hi Olivier,Thanks for the suggestion, but Cgroups is installed and started. As I mentioned, everything works for the root user. Should I do some special configuration for a non-root user? Currently, my /etc/cgconfig.conf contains the following:
mount {
cpuacct = /mnt/cgroups/cpuacct;
}
Thanks,
Anton
