[libvirt-users] API for retrieving resource metrics from VMs?

[BYEONG-GI KIM]

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, the reason I expect that function from libvirt API was I don't
want to install agent-like software on VM, which means I was trying to get
such information without agent for cloud environment monitoring.

By the way, I have another question about libvirt-java binding API.

Does the API fully support libvirt C API functionally? I've been trying to
get VM's current memory/cpu usages and network I/O of individual NICs, but
the coding is not easy since the description how to use each libvirt-java
binding API in Javadoc is barely sufficient. For example,
Domain.memoryStats(int number) seems returning the memory usage or
something related to that information, but I really don't know what
"number" should be given for the parameter... The return values were even
not one result per VM. What does the value exactly mean?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
