I'm waiting for the next alarm. In the meanwhile this is the output now: vdsClient -s saturnus2 getVmStats 3b9aa245-75ff-42e8-b921-1c9ce61826bf 3b9aa245-75ff-42e8-b921-1c9ce61826bf Status = Running guestFQDN = galatea.***.**** memUsage = 32 acpiEnable = true netIfaces = [{'inet6': [], 'hw': '52:54:00:49:11:9d', 'inet': ['192.168.99.19'], 'name': 'eth1'}, {'inet6': [], 'hw': '00:1a:4a:67:c4:b3', 'inet': ['10.110.X.X'], 'name': 'eth2'}, {'inet6': [], 'hw': '52:54:00:f1:22:48', 'inet': ['192.168.122.1'], 'name': 'virbr0'}] pid = 38144 session = Unknown vmType = kvm timeOffset = 0 balloonInfo = {'balloon_max': '12582912', 'balloon_min': '8388608', 'balloon_target': '12582912', 'balloon_cur': '12582912'} pauseCode = NOERR disksUsage = [{'path': '/', 'total': '37655093248', 'fs': 'ext4', 'used': '21765771264'}, {'path': '/boot', 'total': '507744256', 'fs': 'ext4', 'used': '49356800'}] network = {'vnet0': {'macAddr': '00:1a:4a:67:c4:b3', 'rxDropped': '0', 'txDropped': '0', 'rxErrors': '0', 'txRate': '0.0', 'rxRate': '0.0', 'txErrors': '0', 'state': 'unknown', 'speed': '1000', 'name': 'vnet0'}, 'vnet1': {'macAddr': '52:54:00:49:11:9d', 'rxDropped': '0', 'txDropped': '0', 'rxErrors': '0', 'txRate': '0.0', 'rxRate': '0.0', 'txErrors': '0', 'state': 'unknown', 'speed': '1000', 'name': 'vnet1'}, 'vnet2': {'macAddr': '52:54:00:66:d3:aa', 'rxDropped': '0', 'txDropped': '0', 'rxErrors': '0', 'txRate': '0.0', 'rxRate': '0.0', 'txErrors': '0', 'state': 'unknown', 'speed': '1000', 'name': 'vnet2'}} memoryStats = {'swap_out': '0', 'majflt': '0', 'mem_free': '8520656', 'swap_in': '0', 'pageflt': '396', 'mem_total': '12197520', 'mem_unused': '1580896'} guestName = galatea.brusselsairport.aero elapsedTime = 2251149 displayType = qxl cpuSys = 12.76 appsList = ['ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.8-1.el6', 'kernel-2.6.32-71.el6'] guestOs = 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 username = vandenpt hash = -3779086589437073991 displayIp = 0 displayPort = 5900 guestIPs = 192.168.99.19 10.110.50.84 192.168.122.1 kvmEnable = true disks = {'vda': {'readLatency': '0', 'apparentsize': '45097156608', 'writeLatency': '1313701', 'imageID': '528a377f-4f98-4023-92de-ce52c394d4a9', 'flushLatency': '187524', 'readRate': '0.00', 'truesize': '45097156608', 'writeRate': '8502.90'}, 'hdc': {'readLatency': '0', 'apparentsize': '0', 'writeLatency': '0', 'flushLatency': '0', 'readRate': '0.00', 'truesize': '0', 'writeRate': '0.00'}} monitorResponse = 0 statsAge = 0.47 cpuUser = 68.45 lastLogin = 1392707812.29 clientIp = displaySecurePort = 5901 2014-02-17 14:00 GMT+01:00 Martin Sivak <msivak(a)redhat.com&gt;: > Hi Koen, > > can you try the mentioned vdsClient command (vdsClient getVmStats > <affected vm>) as soon as you get the warning about negative memory?
