[libvirt-users] How can openstack retrieve the CPU usage of a lxc via libvirt?

Dear all, I want to have a view of lxc CPU usage in openstack Dashboard. According the Openstack official site , Openstack Ceilometer can poll libvirt daemon to obtain CPU usage of a virtual machine. I tried the command locally on the libvirtd host "virsh -c lxc:/// domjobinfo", I got an error "error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virDomainGetJobInfo" I am not sure if Openstack Ceilometer can retrieve the CPU usage of a linux container, if it can, which virsh command or API should be used to this? Thank you for your response in advance. Cheng

virDomainGetJobInfo is for getting information about background jobs (such as save/restore/migrate), it has nothing todo with CPU usage. For CPU usage you need virDomainGetCPUStats Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :|
