Thank you for the information. <div>I think I typed "host" instead of "guest" in my original email. I am trying to get the guest vm status of each vm in the farm. </div><div>And I see there is onevm list or onevm show commands to execute. Is that command returning the status from Opennebula database or is it actually probing the remote VM and returning it?</div>
<div><br></div><div>If its returning from database, I guess some monitor program is updating the Opennebula database with the status information behind the scenes. Can that monitor program be extended to update our db too?</div>
<div><br></div><div>If the onevm list/ onevm show command directly probing the remote VM and returning the information, how to extend that to meet our requirement?</div><div><br></div><div>Ranga<br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hello,<br>
<br>
Information manger is designed to be easily extended. The scripts just<br>
to return something like this:<br>
<br>
--8<------<br>
DISKFREE=87238<br>
FANSPEED=3500<br>
------>8--<br>
<br>
Then you add the script in the configuration file of the driver an it<br>
will be executed remotely and those information added to the database.<br>
To get this information you have to use onehost show. In the new 1.4<br>
beta (1.3.80) you have --xml option for onehost to give this<br>
information in xml format so it will be easily parsed by a program.<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
