virtlogd (systemctl status libvirtd)
libvirt-guests.sh
systemctl status libvirt-guests

Config files and directories[edit]

  • Config directories:
/etc/libvirt/
/etc/libvirt/storage/ (In Ubuntu there is no default pool. Folder will be automatically created with first pool)
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
/etc/libvirt/qemu/XML_FILES_FROM_SERVERS.XML
/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks
  • Config files:
/etc/libvirt/virtlogd.conf
Includes information about Unix Socket permissions: unix_sock_group, unix_sock_ro_perms, unix_sock_rw_perms, auth_unix_ro, auth_unix_rw
/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf


/var/log/libvirt/qemu/
journalctl -r -u libvirtd
