Well, just call virDomainGetJobStats and you will get both total time and downtime and many more. > virDomainGetJobStats > <http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#virDomainGetJobStats> Yes, this is the right API to get all the statistics you want. It returns a list of (key, type, value) entires in params. The keys are VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_* (see http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt-domain.html#VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_AUTO_CONVERGE_THROTTLE and a lot of other VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_* macros following this one for details). You can look at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=tools/virsh-domain.c;h=93587e8bc7c79cbb66b6ee107472dfec5f320dab;hb=HEAD In short, just call virTypedParamsGetULLong(params, nparams, VIR_DOMAIN_JOB_DOWNTIME, &value) to fetch downtime from params into value if it was present there (check return value of the API). The exact API to call is different for each type, although all migration statistics are unsigned long long so this one is all you need. BTW, you can call virDomainGetJobStats anytime while migration is running to monitor its progress. To check statistics of a completed migration it's easier to just register a callback for VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_JOB_COMPLETED event. See http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=examples/object-events/event-test.c;h=55c004f93f40de628ae76221bb8ef9a13b2acb3d;hb=HEAD#l940 for an example.
