Hi everyone, I've had instances where qemu-kvm process dies and become a zombie. At that state, libvirtd reports the instance to be running and I can't restart the VM because libvirtd fails to kill the qemu-kvm process. Finding the root cause of that is a topic for another day. I also see this line in logs: Jun 15 13:36:57 d12566 libvirtd: 10424: warning : virKeepAliveTimerInternal:156 : No response from client 0x1600420 after 5 keepalive messages in 31 seconds Is it possible to monitor the keepAlive thing via command-line ? (as a nagios check). I know that I can poll for that line in the logs but is there a better way? I couldn't find any option in virsh to do a KeepAlive check. Thanks -- Cheers, Abhijeet Rastogi (shadyabhi)
