QMP Supported Commands
----------------------
This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
-> data issued by the Client
<- Server data response
Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
information on the Server command and response formats.
NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
1. Stability Considerations
===========================
The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
QEMU is available
2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
check for the "error" key)
2. Regular Commands
===================
Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
is reached.

"arguments": { "device": "foo",
"size": 1000,
"format": "utf8" } }
<- {"return": "abcdefgh"}

block-stream
------------
Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
Arguments:
- "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
- "base": The file name of the backing image above which copying starts
(json-string, optional)
- "backing-file": The backing file string to write into the active layer. This
filename is not validated.
If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must use
node-names for the image in question, as filename lookup
methods will fail.
If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the
backing file string to use, or error out if there is no
obvious choice. Care should be taken when specifying the
string, to specify a valid filename or protocol.
(json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
- "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
- "on-error": the action to take on an error (default 'report'). 'stop' and
'enospc' can only be used if the block device supports io-status.
(json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
Example:
-> { "execute": "block-stream", "arguments": { "device": "virtio0",
"base": "/tmp/master.qcow2" } }

.mhandler.cmd_new = qmp_marshal_input_block_commit,
},
SQMP
block-commit
------------
Live commit of data from overlay image nodes into backing nodes - i.e., writes
data between 'top' and 'base' into 'base'.
Arguments:
- "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
- "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
(json-string, optional)
- "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
- backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
specifying a backing file string is an error. This
filename is not validated.
If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
the backing file string to use, or error out if
there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
when specifying the string, to specify a valid
filename or protocol.
(json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
If top == base, that is an error.
If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
smaller than the base image, the base will not be
truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
(json-string)
- "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
Example:
-> { "execute": "block-commit", "arguments": { "device": "virtio0",
"top": "/tmp/snap1.qcow2" } }
<- { "return": {} }
EQMP
block: add drive-backup QMP command @drive-backup Start a point-in-time copy of a block device to a new destination.

Implement sync modes for drive-backup. This patch adds sync-modes to the drive-backup interface and implements the FULL, NONE and TOP modes of synchronization. FULL performs as before copying the entire contents of the drive while preserving the point-in-time using CoW. NONE only copies new writes to the target drive. TOP copies changes to the topmost drive image and preserves the point-in-time using CoW. For sync mode TOP are creating a new target image using the same backing file as the original disk image. Then any new data that has been laid on top of it since creation is copied in the main backup_run() loop. There is an extra check in the 'TOP' case so that we don't bother to copy all the data of the backing file as it already exists in the target. This is where the bdrv_co_is_allocated() is used to determine if the data exists in the topmost layer or below. Also any new data being written is intercepted via the write_notifier hook which ends up calling backup_do_cow() to copy old data out before it gets overwritten. For mode 'NONE' we create the new target image and only copy in the original data from the disk image starting from the time the call was made. This preserves the point in time data by only copying the parts that are *going to change* to the target image. This way we can reconstruct the final image by checking to see if the given block exists in the new target image first, and if it does not, you can get it from the original image. This is basically an optimization allowing you to do point-in-time snapshots with low overhead vs the 'FULL' version. Since there is no old data to copy out the loop in backup_run() for the NONE case just calls qemu_coroutine_yield() which only wakes up after an event (usually cancel in this case). The rest is handled by the before_write notifier which again calls backup_do_cow() to write out the old data so it can be preserved.

transaction
-----------
Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
for the group are abandoned.
For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
qcow2.
Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
current image file as the backing file for the new image.
On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
and sheepdog.
On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
it later with qemu-img or other command.
Arguments:

- "type": the operation to perform. The only supported

block: delete cow block driver This patch removes support for the cow file format. Normally we do not break backwards compatibility but in this case there is no impact and it is the most logical option. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence so I will show why removing the cow block driver is the right thing to do. The cow file format is the disk image format for Usermode Linux, a way of running a Linux system in userspace. The performance of UML was never great and it was hacky, but it enjoyed some popularity before hardware virtualization support became mainstream. QEMU's block/cow.c is supposed to read this image file format. Unfortunately the file format was underspecified: 1. Earlier Linux versions used the MAXPATHLEN constant for the backing filename field. The value of MAXPATHLEN can change, so Linux switched to a 4096 literal but QEMU has a 1024 literal. 2. Padding was not used on the header struct (both in the Linux kernel and in QEMU) so the struct layout varied across architectures. In particular, i386 and x86_64 were different due to int64_t alignment differences. Linux now uses __attribute__((packed)), QEMU does not. Therefore: 1. QEMU cow images do not conform to the Linux cow image file format. 2. cow images cannot be shared between different host architectures. This means QEMU cow images are useless and QEMU has not had bug reports from users actually hitting these issues. Let's get rid of this thing, it serves no purpose and no one will be affected.

block: add event when disk usage exceeds threshold Managing applications, like oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org), make extensive use of thin-provisioned disk images. To let the guest run smoothly and be not unnecessarily paused, oVirt sets a disk usage threshold (so called 'high water mark') based on the occupation of the device, and automatically extends the image once the threshold is reached or exceeded. In order to detect the crossing of the threshold, oVirt has no choice but aggressively polling the QEMU monitor using the query-blockstats command. This lead to unnecessary system load, and is made even worse under scale: deployments with hundreds of VMs are no longer rare. To fix this, this patch adds: * A new monitor command `block-set-write-threshold', to set a mark for a given block device. * A new event `BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD', to report if a block device usage exceeds the threshold. * A new `write_threshold' field into the `BlockDeviceInfo' structure, to report the configured threshold. This will allow the managing application to use smarter and more efficient monitoring, greatly reducing the need of polling.

migration has ended, it returns the total migration
time (json-int)

iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
(such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
themselves. (json-int)

- "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
- "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
size (json-int)
- "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
- "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
it is a json-object with the following disk information:
- "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
- "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)

It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
- "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
- "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
- "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
- "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
- "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
- "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
normal page).

net: add support of mac-programming over macvtap in QEMU side Currently macvtap based macvlan device is working in promiscuous mode, we want to implement mac-programming over macvtap through Libvirt for better performance. Design: QEMU notifies Libvirt when rx-filter config is changed in guest, then Libvirt query the rx-filter information by a monitor command, and sync the change to macvtap device. Related rx-filter config of the nic contains main mac, rx-mode items and vlan table. This patch adds a QMP event to notify management of rx-filter change, and adds a monitor command for management to query rx-filter information. Test: If we repeatedly add/remove vlan, and change macaddr of vlan interfaces in guest by a loop script. Result: The events will flood the QMP client(management), management takes too much resource to process the events. Event_throttle API (set rate to 1 ms) can avoid the events to flood QMP client, but it could cause an unexpected delay (~1ms), guests guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately. So we use a flag for each nic to avoid events flooding, the event is emitted once until the query command is executed. The flag implementation could not introduce unexpected delay. There maybe exist an uncontrollable delay if we let Libvirt do the real change, guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately. But it's another separate issue, we can investigate it when the work in Libvirt side is done. Michael S. Tsirkin: tweaked to enable events on start Michael S.

block: add event when disk usage exceeds threshold Managing applications, like oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org), make extensive use of thin-provisioned disk images. To let the guest run smoothly and be not unnecessarily paused, oVirt sets a disk usage threshold (so called 'high water mark') based on the occupation of the device, and automatically extends the image once the threshold is reached or exceeded. In order to detect the crossing of the threshold, oVirt has no choice but aggressively polling the QEMU monitor using the query-blockstats command. This lead to unnecessary system load, and is made even worse under scale: deployments with hundreds of VMs are no longer rare. To fix this, this patch adds: * A new monitor command `block-set-write-threshold', to set a mark for a given block device. * A new event `BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD', to report if a block device usage exceeds the threshold. * A new `write_threshold' field into the `BlockDeviceInfo' structure, to report the configured threshold. This will allow the managing application to use smarter and more efficient monitoring, greatly reducing the need of polling.

QMP/input-send-event: make console parameter optional The 'QemuConsole' is the input source for handler, we share some input handlers to process the input events from different QemuConsole. Normally we only have one set of keyboard, mouse, usbtablet, etc. The devices have different mask, it's fine to just checking mask to insure that the handler has the ability to process the event. I saw we try to bind console to handler in usb/dev-hid.c, but display always isn't available at that time. If we have multiseat setup (as Gerd said), we only have 'problem' in this case. Actually event from different devices have the same effect for system, it's fine to always use the first available handler without caring about the console. For send-key command, we just pass a NULL for console parameter in calling qemu_input_event_send_key(NULL, ..), but 'input-send-event' needs to care more devices. Conclusion: Generally assigning the special console is meanless, and we can't directly remove the QMP parameter for compatibility. So we can make the parameter optional. The parameter might be useful for some special condition: we have multiple devices without binding console and they all have the ability(mask) to process events, and we don't want to use the first one.

@x-input-send-event
-----------------
Send input event to guest.
Arguments:
QMP/input-send-event: make console parameter optional The 'QemuConsole' is the input source for handler, we share some input handlers to process the input events from different QemuConsole. Normally we only have one set of keyboard, mouse, usbtablet, etc. The devices have different mask, it's fine to just checking mask to insure that the handler has the ability to process the event. I saw we try to bind console to handler in usb/dev-hid.c, but display always isn't available at that time. If we have multiseat setup (as Gerd said), we only have 'problem' in this case. Actually event from different devices have the same effect for system, it's fine to always use the first available handler without caring about the console. For send-key command, we just pass a NULL for console parameter in calling qemu_input_event_send_key(NULL, ..), but 'input-send-event' needs to care more devices.

- "console": console index. (json-int, optional)
- "events": list of input events.
The consoles are visible in the qom tree, under
/backend/console[$index]. They have a device link and head property, so
it is possible to map which console belongs to which device and display.
Note: this command is experimental, and not a stable API.
Example (1):
Press left mouse button.
-> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
"arguments": { "console": 0,
"events": [ { "type": "btn",
"data" : { "down": true, "button": "Left" } } ] } }
<- { "return": {} }
-> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
"arguments": { "console": 0,
"events": [ { "type": "btn",
"data" : { "down": false, "button": "Left" } } ] } }
<- { "return": {} }
Example (2):
Press ctrl-alt-del.
-> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
"arguments": { "console": 0, "events": [
{ "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,
"key": {"type": "qcode", "data": "ctrl" } } },
{ "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,
"key": {"type": "qcode", "data": "alt" } } },
{ "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,
"key": {"type": "qcode", "data": "delete" } } } ] } }
<- { "return": {} }
Example (3):
Move mouse pointer to absolute coordinates (20000, 400).
-> { "execute": "x-input-send-event" ,
"arguments": { "console": 0, "events": [
{ "type": "abs", "data" : { "axis": "X", "value" : 20000 } },
{ "type": "abs", "data" : { "axis": "Y", "value" : 400 } } ] } }
<- { "return": {} }
block: add event when disk usage exceeds threshold Managing applications, like oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org), make extensive use of thin-provisioned disk images. To let the guest run smoothly and be not unnecessarily paused, oVirt sets a disk usage threshold (so called 'high water mark') based on the occupation of the device, and automatically extends the image once the threshold is reached or exceeded. In order to detect the crossing of the threshold, oVirt has no choice but aggressively polling the QEMU monitor using the query-blockstats command. This lead to unnecessary system load, and is made even worse under scale: deployments with hundreds of VMs are no longer rare. To fix this, this patch adds: * A new monitor command `block-set-write-threshold', to set a mark for a given block device. * A new event `BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD', to report if a block device usage exceeds the threshold. * A new `write_threshold' field into the `BlockDeviceInfo' structure, to report the configured threshold. This will allow the managing application to use smarter and more efficient monitoring, greatly reducing the need of polling.

block-set-write-threshold
------------
Change the write threshold for a block drive. The threshold is an offset,
thus must be non-negative. Default is no write threshold.
Setting the threshold to zero disables it.
Arguments:
- "node-name": the node name in the block driver state graph (json-string)
- "write-threshold": the write threshold in bytes (json-int)
Example:
-> { "execute": "block-set-write-threshold",
"arguments": { "node-name": "mydev",
"write-threshold": 17179869184 } }
<- { "return": {} }
