                    Now, I was also looking at the REST API - is there a
                    simple shell based way to read / query the resulting
                    XML ? Or would you suggest to write python scripts
                    to e.g. start/stop instance, get a list of VMs /
                    their IDs, etc. ? <br>
                  </font></font></blockquote>
              <br>
              If you are already planning on Python, why not use the SDK
              instead of doing REST?<br>
              some examples @
              <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;

            Hi Yaniv,<br>
            <br>
            thanks - had a quick look - is the PyAPI able to get the
            current usage of the VMs (e.g. Memory/CPU/etc. usage) - it's
            the main reason (for monitoring &amp; trending) that I need
            this .. <br>
            <br>
            Thanks!<br>
            Alex<br>

          It does. The SDK is auto-generated from the REST interface so
          you can get the statistics sub-collection and use it.<br>

          <br>
          Is there a document / wiki article that has examples to get
          those metrics for e.g. ram usage, cpu usage, etc. ? <br>
        </font></font></blockquote>
    <br>
    Take a look at the restapi structure of api/vms/{vm-id}/statistics
    for pointers, but basically here is a simple example:<br>
    <br>
    for stat in api.vms.get('my_vm').statistics.list():<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print 'Name:', stat.name<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print 'Description:',stat.description<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for value in stat.values.value:<br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print '&nbsp; Value:', value.datum<br>
