Completely removed the paragraph where I address if you have a bunch of machines to deal with.... But tell me even with a GUI how you monitor 8k machines. You don't have that much screen space and will be scrolling for days. Even if spread out over a few machines/hosts, likely a few hundred per machine and still will end up with more than can be seen on any one screen. Even if you turn your monitor vertical vs horizontal and have crazy resolution. Funny enough, looks like the font size in virt-manager shrunk a bit. However even with smaller font and my pathetic number of hosts and vms. I almost run out of space in virt-manager to see everything on one screen. You would be hard pressed to get more than ~20 vms displayed on any screen at one time. Without doing something crazy like previously mentioned. Now hosts you could have a fair amount displayed in virt-manager. However that shows you nothing, until expand a host. You can't even see dom0 activity closed. With others like virtualbox you get even less vms on screen and more scrolling. Also if there is a problem with one, or more than one. What do you turn to next? Not everything can be done via the GUI ;) -- William L.
