QMP

Package qmp enables interaction with QEMU instances via the QEMU Machine Protocol (QMP).

Available Drivers

Libvirt

If your environment is managed by Libvirt, QMP interaction must be proxied through the Libvirt daemon. This can be be done through two available drivers:

RPC

The RPC driver provides a pure Go implementation of Libvirt's RPC protocol.

//conn, err := net.DialTimeout("unix", "/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock", 2*time.Second)
conn, err := net.DialTimeout("tcp", "192.168.1.1:16509", 2*time.Second)
monitor := libvirtrpc.New("stage-lb-1", conn)

virsh

A connection to the monitor socket is provided by proxing requests through the virsh executable.

monitor, err := qmp.NewLibvirtMonitor("qemu:///system", "stage-lb-1")

Socket

If your QEMU instances are not managed by libvirt, direct communication over its UNIX socket is available.

monitor, err := qmp.NewSocketMonitor("unix", "/var/lib/qemu/example.monitor", 2*time.Second)

Examples

Using the above to establish a new qmp.Monitor, the following examples provide a brief overview of QMP usage.

error checking omitted for the sake of brevity.

Command Execution

type StatusResult struct {
	ID     string `json:"id"`
	Return struct {
		Running    bool   `json:"running"`
		Singlestep bool   `json:"singlestep"`
		Status     string `json:"status"`
	} `json:"return"`
}

monitor.Connect()
defer monitor.Disconnect()

cmd := []byte(`{ "execute": "query-status" }`)
raw, _ := monitor.Run(cmd)

var result StatusResult
json.Unmarshal(raw, &result)

fmt.Println(result.Return.Status)

running

Event Monitor

monitor.Connect()
defer monitor.Disconnect()

stream, _ := monitor.Events()
for e := range stream {
	log.Printf("EVENT: %s", e.Event)
}
