Editing Virsh snapshot-list


 [[virsh]] snapshot-list domain [{--parent | --roots | --tree}] [{[--from] snapshot | --current} [--descendants]] [--metadata] [--no-metadata] [--leaves] [--no-leaves] [--inactive] [--active] [--disk-only] [--internal] [--external] <ref>https://linux.die.net/man/1/virsh</ref>


List snapshots for a domain, will list active, inactive and disk-only snapshots:
<pre>virsh snapshot-list VM_MACHINE_NAME 
 Name                 Creation Time             State
------------------------------------------------------------
 Snapshot_name           2019-01-27 11:47:48 +0400 shutoff
</pre>

<pre>
$ virsh snapshot-list VM_MACHINE_NAME
Name                 Creation Time             State
------------------------------------------------------------

MY_Snapshot_name            2018-04-29 15:53:07 +0530 running
</pre>

<pre>
$ virsh snapshot-list VM_MACHINE_NAME --current
Name                 Creation Time             State
------------------------------------------------------------
error: Domain snapshot not found: the domain does not have a current snapshot
error: Domain snapshot not found: the domain does not have a current snapshot
</pre>

Snapshot-list for all VMs:
<pre>
for VM_NAME in `virsh list --name`; do virsh snapshot-list $VM_NAME; done
</pre>




To filter by state when snapshot was taken use:
* <code>virsh snapshot-list VM_MACHINE_NAME --active</code>
* <code>virsh snapshot-list VM_MACHINE_NAME --inactive</code>
* <code>virsh snapshot-list VM_MACHINE_NAME --disk-only</code>

To filter by storage snapshot type use: <code>--internal</code> or <code>--external</code> ([[Virsh/virsh snapshot-info|virsh snapshot-info]] can be also used)
* <code>virsh snapshot-list VM_MACHINE_NAME --internal</code>
* <code>virsh snapshot-list VM_MACHINE_NAME --external</code>
