Hello, I cannot find a way to retrieve PIDs of QEMU instances from libvirt domains' IDs (I'm using libvirt C API). I recognize it sounds like a bad idea doing so (and I know PIDs are explicitly made not available, as I gathered from the source code and on your IRC channel) but I need that to use the perf_event_open syscall in order to gather statistics on my QEMU/KVM guests. I also know libvirt now supports some perf events but only a few and I need more. I could submit patches to add them and I will definitely consider that but in the meantime... What would be the best way to get those PIDs? I tried using the XML file but PID is hidden in there too. I took a look at QEMU Machine Protocol. Now I'm going to walk /proc and match on guests names but it is not that elegant. Any ideas?
`ps aux | grep $UUID | grep -v grep` ??
