Hi,
Is the array mstats returned by virDomainMemoryStats call cummulative or snapshot
of the counter at that particular time ? I was of the opinion that is cummulative like the
/proc counters but this counter seems to go backwards ie next snapshot value is less than
the current one which makes me think these are snapshot values . I'm using RHEL 6.3
libvirt version 0.9.10.
Regards,
Navin

For qemu, virDomainMemoryStats parses the output of the qemu
'query-balloon' monitor command; I'd have to check the qemu source code
to see if these stats are cumulative, but that's what I'd expect. If
they are not, then libvirt has a bug for not accumulating the stats
locally, because I think the libvirt API has to be cumulative. If
reading the stats resets them to 0 (ie. stats are a self-resetting
snapshot), and you have more than one client both trying to read stats,
then the stats will read short.
