[libvirt-users] virNodeGetCPUStats and virDomainGetCPUStats have same name in pyton binding as getCPUStats

[Buggi, Harsha]

Hi,

   Thanks for your quick responses. 

   On class specific bindin that Daniel mentioned: That’s what I thought too. But I believe right now we cant do something like "from <module> import <function>" since both virNodeGetCPUStats and virDomainGetCPUStats are in the same module.

   Is there a workaround for this without having to touch libvirt (for a client that can collect stats from multiple hosts? 

   Can I use Sys-virt perl module instead? Will I be able to access all the performance counters that can be accessed from the python binding? Are the perl bindings installed by default or do we need to download it and install it? (if we need to download then python would be preferred as binding is installed by default for a specific version.

   Which binding is most recommended for collecting performance counters? Is there a list of performance counters that can be collected    

Regards,
Harsha

Err, no we don't.  The getCPUStats() binding to virNodeGetCPUStats() is
done against the virConnect class, while the getCPUStats() binding
to virDomainGetCPUStats() is done against the virDomain class. The names
only need to be unique within the scope of the class, not the entire
module
