Description Steve Grubb 2012-02-01 17:37:01 UTC
Description of problem:
In order to positively correlate all audit events to a qemu instance, we need to record the vm-pid on startup/shutdown. There is a patch upstream that does this:
http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=98b01e8f2bf3dd3c8a8881f2a94af3f9d1a95620

Testing should be easy. start up a vm, run ausearch -m VIRT_CONTROL, then run ps -ef and see if the vm-pid field is a qemu process. (Or something like that.)

Additional info:
This is needed for the auvirt program in the 6.3 audit package.

Comment 2 dyuan 2012-02-15 06:56:45 UTC
Verified PASS with libvirt-0.9.10-1.el6.

The vm-pid is the same as corresponding qemu process id.

# virsh list --all
 Id    Name                           State
