AUVIRT(8) System Administration Utilities AUVIRT(8)
NAME
auvirt - a program that shows data related to virtual machines
SYNOPSIS
auvirt [ OPTIONS ]
DESCRIPTION
auvirt shows a list of guest sessions found in the audit logs. If a
guest is specified, only the events related to that guest is consid-
ered. To specify a guest, both UUID or VM name can be given.
For each guest session the tool prints a record with the domain name,
the user that started the guest, the time when the guest was started
and the time when the guest was stopped.
If the option "--all-events" is given a more detailed output is shown.
In this mode other records are shown for guest's stops, resource as-
signments, AVC and anomaly events. The first field indicates the event
type and can have the following values: start, stop, res, avc, and
anom.
Resource assignments have the additional fields: resource type, reason
and resource. And AVC records have the following additional fields: op-
eration, result, command and target.
By default, auvirt reads records from the system audit log file. But
--stdin and --file options can be specified to change this behavior.
OPTIONS
--all-events
Show records for all virtualization related events.
--debug
Print debug messages to stderr.
-f, --file file
Read records from the given file instead from the system audit
log file.
-h, --help
Print help message and exit.
--proof
Add after each event a line containing all the identifiers of
the audit records used to calculate the event. Each identifier
consists of unix time, milliseconds and serial number.
--show-uuid
Add the guest's UUID to each record.
--stdin
Read records from the standard input instead from the system au-
dit log file. This option cannot be specified with --file. The
audit events must be in the raw format.
--summary
Print a summary with information about the events found. The
summary contains the considered range of time, the number of
guest starts and stops, the number of resource assignments, the
number of AVC and anomaly events, and the number of failed oper-
ations.
-te, --end [end-date] [end-time]
Search for events with time stamps equal to or before the given
end time. The format of end time depends on your locale. If the
date is omitted, today is assumed. If the time is omitted, now
is assumed. Use 24 hour clock time rather than AM or PM to spec-
ify time. An example date using the en_US.utf8 locale is
09/03/2009. An example of time is 18:00:00. The date format ac-
cepted is influenced by the LC_TIME environmental variable.
You may also use the word: now, recent, today, yesterday,
this-week, week-ago, this-month, this-year. Today means starting
now. Recent is 10 minutes ago. Yesterday is 1 second after mid-
night the previous day. This-week means starting 1 second after
midnight on day 0 of the week determined by your locale (see lo-
caltime). This-month means 1 second after midnight on day 1 of
the month. This-year means the 1 second after midnight on the
first day of the first month.
-ts, --start [start-date] [start-time]
Search for events with time stamps equal to or after the given
end time. The format of end time depends on your locale. If the
date is omitted, today is assumed. If the time is omitted, mid-
night is assumed. Use 24 hour clock time rather than AM or PM to
specify time. An example date using the en_US.utf8 locale is
09/03/2009. An example of time is 18:00:00. The date format ac-
cepted is influenced by the LC_TIME environmental variable.
You may also use the word: now, recent, today, yesterday,
this-week, this-month, this-year. Today means starting at 1
second after midnight. Recent is 10 minutes ago. Yesterday is 1
second after midnight the previous day. This-week means start-
ing 1 second after midnight on day 0 of the week determined by
your locale (see localtime). This-month means 1 second after
midnight on day 1 of the month. This-year means the 1 second af-
ter midnight on the first day of the first month.
-u, --uuid UUID
Only show events related to the guest with the given UUID.
-v, --vm name
Only show events related to the guest with the given name.
EXAMPLES
To see all the records in this month for a guest
auvirt --start this-month --vm GuestVmName --all-events
