Description Jiri Belka 2014-05-28 07:34:42 UTC

Description of problem:

qemu-ga should report memory statistics. IIUC a memory overcommitment manager (MOM) runs on the host and based on data from hosts and guest and its policy decides to give/take memory from guest via virtio memory ballooning.

right now the data from guest are taken (IIUC) from RHEVM's vdsm which gets populated by RHEVM ovirt-guest-agent.

too many agents :) qemu-ga is dependency of ovirt-guest-agent anyway. qemu-ga should report memory statistics so these data are available out of RHEVM environment. qemu-ga is not RHEVM specific, so it would be nice to have such data in basic qemu-ga.
