The setup component has been changed, if that Dave was referring to.
We might want to update our setup instruction.

you can use sdk client side filtering on collections using
map based constraints [1], just note that you cannot use
same constrain (name) twice [2] as following entry will always
override the former one,

to work this out, just use your private inline filtering [3] (it will have
same complexity as using sdk filtering)

[1]

for h in h_list:
statistics = h.statistics.list(**{
'name':'cpu.current.system'
}
)
for statistic in statistics:
print "%s=%0.4f %s" % (
statistic.get_name(),
statistic.get_values().get_value()[0].datum,
statistics[0].get_unit()
)

[2]

statistics = h.statistics.list(**{
'name':'cpu.current.system',
'name':'cpu.current.idle'
}
)


[3]

h_list = api.hosts.list()
stats_to_show = ['cpu.current.system', 'cpu.current.idle']
for h in h_list:
statistics = h.statistics.list()
for statistic in statistics:
if statistic.get_name() in stats_to_show:
print "%s=%0.4f %s" % (
statistic.get_name(),
statistic.get_values().get_value()[0].datum 
,
statistics[0].get_unit()
)



hope it helps.

Too stupid. In case someone else faces this problem. The error

Hi Andrew,
This is a technical session, explaining the design, architecture, flows and 
various aspects.
The actual implementation is still being tested, thus not ready yet for release.

Thanks for noticing the day issue, the session will be held on Monday, 
September 9.

Hi René,
Due to time constraints, it did not make it into the 3.3 release, however
in master we already have network QoS allowing you to limit bandwidth for
vNICs.
Also, we managed to implement CPU shares which allows you to handle priorities.
Both will be included in the next version, and hopefuly some more.

So if you ever feel like taking a ride with the bleeding edge, you have both
network QoS and CPU shares waiting there.

the latter is available by hosted engine, which is a highly
available VM which will be migrated / restarted on a different
