@dcskinner @olivierlambert You can read key/values from the xenstore, and write some (from VM to outside), but you cannot write values "in live" from outside the VM to the inside. It is, but XAPI doesn't provide a interface for it. do the guest tools quiesce the filesystems before snapshotting? Tools are aware of a snapshot so you don't have blocks in flight. do the guest tools quiesce the filesystems before snapshotting? Guests kernel are aware, as it is them that are performing a "suspend" on toolstack request (thus quiece filesystems); although "tools" can only observe that the system has been suspended after the fact by measuring side effects, and not orchestrate it. It's because suspend/resume operation doesn't come from "guest tools" actually, but instead from the kernel drivers. So userland tools has no say on it.

@MajorP93 If it happens again for you (or anyone else reading this thread), please save the contents of /etc/rsyslog.conf just after the lost remote syslog so that we may check whether it was overwritten or something else happened. Also, could you upload somewhere the file that contains your yum logs? /var/log/yum.log or any rotated version of that file /var/log/yum.log.1, etc.

Indeed, it's hosted in Lyon, so an issue could happen in many places in the middle ^^

I don't think stop will remove it, probably better to yum remove it. For Openmetrics, check: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/advanced#openmetrics--prometheus-integration I switched our own production to that, so far it looks promising.

@florent I think you meant it was locking the xoa via .tar.gz but not via .zip which seemed to be the case Yeah I just decompressed the restored .zip and checked number of files and size via ncdu, result: "Total disk usage: 194,5 MiB Apparent size: 193,1 MiB Items: 613" In case I can provide more information for investigating this issue, please let me know. Thanks and best regards

@florent I'll send you a link in DM, hope it helps with something. If not, it wasn't too much of an effort, thanks for your time so far

Does it work as you wanted now? If yes, probably something we can put in our official doc! Ping @thomas-dkmt

@anthoineb have we found a possible explanation?

@mpiton thanks for sharing docs, the crucial part was openssl rand -hex 32 my password was too simple and that's why i got :"Query authentication does not match server setting" error after setting 32 characters password i got my metrics, in both http://localhost:9004/metrics and http://<xo-ip>/openmetrics/metrics
