The metric information are available on this additional disk /dev/vdb. You may install the package vm-dump-metrics and use the command vm-dump-metrics which will display all metrics in an xml format.

Thanks Arsène,

I have vhostmd running on the ovirt node and have set the sap_agent to true on the VM configuration. I also stopped and started the VM to ensure that the config change took effect.

On the oVirt node I see the vhostmd running and see the following entry in the qemu-kvm output:

drive file=/dev/shm/vhostmd0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk701,readonly=on,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8,drive=drive-virtio-disk701,id=virtio-disk701

The part I wasn’t quite understanding was how this presented itself on the VM but I now see a new disk device “/dev/vdb”. If I cat the contents of /dev/vdb I now see the information that is provided from the ovirt node, which is great news and very useful.

Thanks for your help.

Simon

Hi Simon,

You will need to have vhostmd running on the oVirt node and set the "sap_agent" custom property for the vm as you may see on the screenshot.

    I’m trying to use the vhostmd vdsm host to access ovirt node
    metrics from within a VM. Vhostmd is running and updating the
    /dev/shm/vhostmd0 on the ovirt node.

    The part I’m stuck on is: “This disk image is exported read-only
    to guests. Guests can read the disk image to see metrics” from
    http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/hook/vhostmd/

    Does the hook do this by default? I don’t see any new read-only
    device mounted in the guest. Is there additional work I need to do
    to mount this and access the data from within the guest?

    Many thanks,

    Simon
