DBus Remote Control
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The GNOME virt manager provides the ability to control its high level
|
|
UI actions via a DBus service.
|
|
|
|
Interface description
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The service is intended to run on the session bus, and when launched
|
|
will register a well known bus name of 'com.redhat.virt.manager.ui'.
|
|
Within this service, a single object is to be exported under the
|
|
path of '/com/redhat/virt/manager/ui'.
|
|
|
|
This object implements a single interface 'com.redhat.virt.manager.ui'
|
|
which contains the following methods:
|
|
|
|
- show_domain_performance(string:uuid)
|
|
Takes a domain's UUID in printable string format and displays
|
|
the window showing detailed performance data
|
|
|
|
- show_domain_editor(string:uuid)
|
|
Takes a domain's UUID in printable string format and displays
|
|
the window for configuring the VM hardware resources
|
|
|
|
- show_domain_console(string:uuid)
|
|
Takes a domain's UUID in printable string format and displays
|
|
the window for accessing the graphical framebuffer associated
|
|
with the VM.
|
|
|
|
- show_domain_creator()
|
|
Displys the window for creating & configuring a new domain
|
|
|
|
- show_host_summary()
|
|
Displays the window showing a summary of all active domains
|
|
on the host
|
|
|
|
Example usage from shell
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
To display the performance window for the domain with a UUID of
|
|
'349025e8-ad34-34ff-239a-12ae095249f3', one would use the dbus-send
|
|
command as follows:
|
|
|
|
# First ensure the application is running
|
|
$ dbus-send --session --dest="org.freedesktop.DBus" \
|
|
"/org/freedesktop/DBus" \
|
|
"org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName" \
|
|
"string:com.redhat.virt.manager.ui"
|
|
|
|
# Now call the show_domain_performance method
|
|
$dbus-send --session --dest="com.redhat.virt.manager.ui" \
|
|
"/com/redhat/virt/manager/ui"
|
|
"com.redhat.virt.manager.ui.show_domain_performance" \
|
|
"string:349025e8-ad34-34ff-239a-12ae095249f3"
|
|
|
|
Example usage from python
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
import dbus
|
|
|
|
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
|
|
|
|
bus_object = bus.get_object("org.freedesktop.DBus", "/org/freedesktop/DBus")
|
|
bus_iface = dbus.Interface(bus_object, "org.freedesktop.DBus")
|
|
bus_iface.StartServiceByName("com.redhat.virt.manager.ui")
|
|
|
|
|
|
virt_object = bus.get_object("com.redhat.virt.manager.ui",
|
|
"/com/redhat/virt/manager/ui")
|
|
virt_iface = dbus.Interface(virt_object, "com.redhat.virt.manager.ui")
|
|
virt_iface.show_domain_performance("349025e8-ad34-34ff-239a-12ae095249f3")
