Description of problem: > info balloon > balloon: actual=768 is repeated in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/*.log once per second when virt-manager is running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.6.2-4.fc11.x86_64 virt-manager-0.7.0-4.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: always with virt-manager running Steps to Reproduce: 1. start VM using virt-manager 2. tail -f /var/log/libvirt/qemu/VM.log 3. Actual results: info balloon balloon: actual=768 is repeated in qemu log Expected results: qemu log is not polluted with the regular monitoring output.
So, this is virt-manager doing doing domainGetInfo, right? We can't avoid logging the monitor commands, but can we avoid doing the monitor command every time? e.g. once the guest has inflated/deflated to the target, can we not remember that and assume its not going to change? This is pretty annoying when you go looking through the logs
This is fixed in libvirt upstream http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=fbd16cecc72494e8a9450f38197221f2f50c9d0e
The logging issue is fixed, but do we really need to talk to the monitor every time info is called?
We have no choice until QEMU is able to provide notifications for thinks like memory balloon changes
