Things like 'info registers' and disassembly. Depends on the libvirt version. For most, you'll need to look for the monitor path in the QEMU argv: -chardev +socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/vmwts02.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline then, 'service libvirtd stop' and now you can connect to the monitor at that path & run commands you want, and then disconnect and start libvirtd again. If you run any commands that change the VM state, things may well get confused when you start libvirtd again, but if its just 'info registers' etc it should be pretty safe. If you have a new enough libvirt, then you can also send commands directly using 'virsh qemu-monitor-command' (checking whether you need JSON or HMP syntax first - in this case you can see it needs HMP).
