Note this is a property of the API call, listVirtualMachines, not Cloudmonkey.

So far as I can tell it is performing a substring match. Actually,
quite useful :-)

But it should be documented. I just made a pull request for a note to
appear in the API documentation:

Subject: Re: "list virtualmachines name=" problem.
Hi, Harikrishna,
   Thanks, surely UUID will work in this case, but why not let user decide
the match pattern himself? E.g:
list virtualmachines name=vm-1*
to list vm-1, vm-10, vm-11 ......

I think VM name is unique for all the VMs user created? It would be natural
if all details of a VM could be got through its name, i.e:
vm_name==>vm_details

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan,

listVirtualMachine API provided with vm name gives the result of VMs where
name like “%Provided_VM_name%”.

As the name vm-10 is like vm-1, you are getting the result of vm-10 as
well.

You can try with UUID of the vm which gives you exact vm details you want,

http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listVirtualMachines&id=11b7032d-4c03-4fc0-a394-71d921c1e3ba


Thanks,
Harikrishna

Hi,
  I found when I try to list details of the VM with name vm-1 by:
list virtualmachines name=vm-1

Cloudstack will also return me with info of another VM machine of vm-10,
so
I got 2 VMs info here.
How to avoid this? Thanks.

Cheers,
Dan
