Those memory statistics requested by ceilometer: https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer/blame/master/ceilometer/compute/virt/libvirt/inspector.py#L193 require cooperation of the guest's memballoon driver. If all the guests have a <memballoon> device with the period for gathering memory statistics set in that device - <stats period='5'/>, then there's nothing else libvirt can do. If the statistics are needed, make sure there is a virtio memory balloon driver installed in the guest. If they are not, maybe ceilometer's logging is too verbose. Either way this does not look like a libvirt bug. Please reassign it to the proper component - either virtio-win (if you suspect there is a bug in the guest driver) or ceilometer (if the verbose logging is the issue). I'm fairly sure that the virtio-win drivers don't support returning detailed guest memory statistics. @Daniel, Thank you for your suggestion. Rgds, Shinobu |
