[libvirt-users] QemuAgentCommand API documents
Hi, I was going through the maillist[0] and found virDomainQemuAgentCommand() support function added to python module. I also checked the API documentation and didn't able to find any pointer for this particular function. Is API documentation[1] not updated with these function details yet or I am looking to a wrong place? Another question is I am using libvirt-1.0.5.5-1.fc19.x86_64 and using virsh with qemu-agent-command I am able to execute stuff from host. but I am not able to find any API method to do that, any suggestions?

The API you're looking for is the one you've found: virDomainQemuAgentCommand. As the second argument it accepts qemu guest agent commands described in [3]. I'd also recommend reading [4]. Michal

Thanks for command reference, I am able to figure out that along with libvirt, libvirt_qemu also need to import because it will contain QmenuAgentCommand() function definition, but now I am confuse about the parameters. As per definition : def qemuAgentCommand(domain, cmd, timeout, flags), I passed below parameteres: domain : A active virDomain object command : 'guest-info' timeout : 10 flags : 0 But it's raise libvirt.libvirtError('virDomainQemuAgentCommand() failed') In function documentation it's not clearly mention about types of parameters need to pass. Any Idea/Suggestions?

You need to wrap the command into JSON envelope: command: '{"execute": "guest-info"}' just exactly as you need to do for virsh: virsh qemu-agent-command $dom '{"execute":"guest-info"}' Michal
