Python API for interacting with VMware's VMGuestLib SDK.
THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION TO SUPPORT PYTHON 3
The software is easy to install from github:
$ git clone git://github.com/dagwieers/vmguestlib
$ cd vmguestlib
$ python setup.py install
#!/usr/bin/python3
from vmguestlib import VMGuestLib
gl = VMGuestLib()
gl.update_info()
print('CPU')
print(' Stolen: %dms' % gl.get_cpu_stolen_ms())
print(' Used: %dms' % gl.get_cpu_used_ms())
print(' Elapsed: %dms' % gl.get_elapsed_ms())
print("")
print('Memory')
print(' Active: %d MB' % gl.get_mem_active_mb())
print(' Ballooned: %d MB' % gl.get_mem_ballooned_mb())
print(' Mapped: %d MB' % gl.get_mem_mapped_mb())
print(' Overhead: %d MB' % gl.get_mem_overhead_mb())
print(' Shared: %d MB' % gl.get_mem_shared_mb())
print(' Shared saved: %d MB' % gl.get_mem_shared_saved_mb())
print(' Swapped: %d MB' % gl.get_mem_swapped_mb())
print(' Used: %d MB' % gl.get_mem_used_mb())
print("")
gl.close_handle()The vmguestlib package includes a basic vmguest-stats tool to get all vmguestlib counters. It outputs this:
