[dalax01]

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

API

CONFIGURATION

Enable/Disable via Global Settings to (not) include metadata

OS / ENVIRONMENT

KVM

SUMMARY

Metadata to be recorded in the libvirt domain XML configuration to provide information about the CloudStack instance.

Provide information that can be useful to administrators troubleshooting hosts and optionally exported via libvirt exporter.

The host administrator will be able to ask libvirt to provide the XML config for the running instance and from there find out various useful pieces of metadata about the instance.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Add the following metadata XML blob to libvirt domain XML

<metadata>
  <cloudstack:instance>
    <cloudstack:name>${instance_Name}</cloudstack:name>
    <cloudstack:internalName>${instance_InternalName}</cloudstack:internalName>
    <cloudstack:displayName>${instance_DisplayName}</cloudstack:displayName>
    <cloudstack:uuid>${instance_uuid}</cloudstack:name>
    <cloudstack:ComputeOffering>
      <cloudstack:cpu>${number_of_cpu_cores}</cloudstack:cpu>
      <cloudstack:memory>${amount_of_memory_im_m(i)b}<c/loudstack:memory>
      <cloudstack:ha>${ha_enabled_or_not_0_1}</cloudstack:ha>
    </cloudstack:ComputeOffering>
    <cloudstack:creationTime>${creationTime}</cloudstack:creationTime>
    <cloudstack:owner>
      <cloudstack:domain uuid="${domain_uuid}">${domain_name}</cloudstack:domain>
      <cloudstack:account uuid="${account_uuid}">${account_name}</cloudstack:account>
      <cloudstack:project uuid="${project_uuid}">${project_name}</cloudstack:project>
  </cloudstack:instance>
</metadata>

EXPECTED RESULTS

Metadata to be available in libvirt, so this can be used with libvirt exporter.

@DaanHoogland @soreana @kriegsmanj
I have few doubts about on by what way should I make the Enable/Disable toggle so that I can make the pull request.

@Jehan-h20220012 you are looking to add a global setting. These are added to a service by adding a ConfigKey<>. In this case the place to add it would probably be the KVMGuru. Look in VmwareGuru for examples. Don´t forget to implement getConfigComponentName() and getConfigKeys().
