This is already a solved problem - any resource monitoring system can publish this kind of information. Rich Jones has already written libvirt plugins for both collectd and nagios to publish VM information, and so there's no need to re-invent this in libvirtd itself, nor abuse Avahi/mDNS service discovery for this purpose http://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.conf.5.shtml#plugin_libvirt http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/nagios-virt/ Regards, Daniel. -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, Boston -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
