RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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
