Description

Hi,

I've found that with the actual libvirt I am using (0.9.12-4), the allocated memory for VM is available:

Id:             110
Name:           one-43
UUID:           8fd8fe01-2d04-0c63-18fd-3d834ded326d
OS Type:        hvm
State:          running
CPU(s):         1
Max memory:     524288 KiB
Used memory:    524288 KiB
Persistent:     yes
Autostart:      disable
Managed save:   unknown

So I've extended the polling function to report it (it's dirty, I know):

  • Status changed from New to Closed
  • Resolution set to invalid

The used memory and the max memory is hardcoded to the memory requested by ONE, which already knows. For this reason (they being static rather than dynamic values) they are not retrieved by the poll operation-

We are waiting for libvirt to implement this, but as soon as we have free resources we will research on how to retrieve this information bypassing libvirt.
