Is your command very resource-intensive?<div><br></div><div>I'm thinking that maybe you could just add your commands to the periodic VM monitorization. Or add a flag somewhere to indicate if the operation should be done in the next poll action... If you avoid to change the OpenNebula code it will be easier to distribute, use with newer versions, etc.<br>

Hello,<div><br></div><div>my Name is Tobias Zillner and I am working on a master thesis about forensics in the cloud.</div><div><br></div><div>For my practical part I decided to add forensic services to open nebula. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So i extended the onevm commad and added a function forensics. I extended the whole way through the code. </div><div>At the moment i am able to execute my own vmmd script, in which a forensic tool (volatility) is called and analyse the virtual machines.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But now I don't know how to get the result back to the user. Basically i want to create a scenario like this:</div><div><br></div><div>A user just puts in onevm forensics id and the analysis result is shown to him in the screen.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anybody can help me here and tell me what funtions to call or how the way back to the user shell works?</div><div>Does anyone have experience with adding funtions and the flow of commands through the code?</div>
<div><br></div><div>THX!</div><div><br></div><div>Best Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Tobias</div>
