libvirt_async

LibvirtAsync

Libvirt event loop asynchronous implementation on Fibers. Based on libvirt-ruby and async. Allows to receive domain events. Allows to work with streams in asynchronous mode.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'libvirt_async'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install libvirt_async

Usage

LibvirtAsync.register_implementations! must be called once per process before connecting to hypervisor.

Receiving domain events

We can subscribe for event from all hypervisor's domains

require 'libvirt_async'

LibvirtAsync.register_implementations!

connection = Libvirt::open('qemu+tcp://127.0.0.1:16509')

some_object = Object.new

connection.domain_event_register_any(
    Libvirt::Connect::DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE,
    ->(connection, domain, event, detail, opaque) { 
      puts "LIFECYCLE event #{domain.uuid} #{event} #{detail}" 
    },
    nil, # optional domain, can be omitted
    some_object # will be an opaque in callback, can be omitted
)

Or we can subscribe on particular domain

require 'libvirt_async'

LibvirtAsync.register_implementations!

connection = Libvirt::open('qemu+tcp://127.0.0.1:16509')
domain = connection.list_all_domains.first

some_object = Object.new

connection.domain_event_register_any(
    Libvirt::Connect::DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE,
    ->(connection, domain, event, detail, opaque) { 
      puts "LIFECYCLE event #{domain.uuid} #{event} #{detail}" 
    },
    domain, 
    some_object # will be an opaque in callback, can be omitted
)

All available domain events:

connection.domain_event_register_any(
    Libvirt::Connect::DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_REBOOT,
    ->(connection, domain, opaque) { 
      puts "REBOOT event #{domain.uuid}" 
    }
)

connection.domain_event_register_any(
    Libvirt::Connect::DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_RTC_CHANGE,
    ->(connection, domain, utc_offset, opaque) { 
      puts "RTC_CHANGE event #{domain.uuid} #{utc_offset}" 
    }
)

connection.domain_event_register_any(
    Libvirt::Connect::DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_WATCHDOG,
    ->(connection, domain, action, opaque) { 
      puts "WATCHDOG event #{domain.uuid} #{action}" 
    }
)

connection.domain_event_register_any(
    Libvirt::Connect::DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR,
    ->(connection, domain, src_path, dev_alias, action, opaque) { 
      puts "IO_ERROR event #{domain.uuid} #{src_path} #{dev_alias} #{action}" 
    }
)

connection.domain_event_register_any(
    Libvirt::Connect::DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_IO_ERROR_REASON,
    ->(connection, domain, src_path, dev_alias, action, opaque) { 
      puts "IO_ERROR_REASON event #{domain.uuid} #{src_path} #{dev_alias} #{action}" 
    }
)

connection.domain_event_register_any(
    Libvirt::Connect::DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_GRAPHICS,
    ->(connection, domain, phase, local, remote, auth_scheme, subject, opaque) { 
      puts "GRAPHICS event #{domain.uuid} #{phase} #{local} #{remote} #{auth_scheme} #{subject}" 
    }
)

Taking screenshot

require 'libvirt_async'

LibvirtAsync.register_implementations!

connection = Libvirt::open('qemu+tcp://127.0.0.1:16509')
domain = connection.list_all_domains.first

file = File.new("/screenshots/#{domain.uuid}.pnm", 'wb')
stream = LibvirtAsync::StreamRead.new(connection, file)
mime_type = domain.screenshot(stream.stream, 0)
puts "screenshot saving initiated mime_type=#{mime_type}"

# will start screenshot saving
stream.call do |success, reason, io|
  # this block will be called asynchronously on complete or error
  io.close
  if success
   puts "screenshot saved at #{io.path}"
  else
   puts "screenshot was not saved: #{reason}"
  end
end

Logging.

require 'libvirt_async'

LibvirtAsync.use_logger!
LibvirtAsync.logger.level = Logger::Severity::DEBUG # for debugging
LibvirtAsync.start_debug_logging!(2) # will print implementations debug info to logger each 2 seconds.
