<![CDATA[XCP-ng 8.0.0 xsconsole doesn't show Host Performance Information nor VM's CPU and Memory Usage]]>Hello.

After upgrading a host from XCP-ng 7.6.0 to 8.0.0 I noticed that xsconsole's functionality decreased.

In Virtual Machines
--> VMs Running On This Host
and
--> Host Performance Information
and
--> All VMs

no longer are displayed "CPU Usage" and "Memory Usage".

Here you are examples:

  1. In 7.6.0:

Could you restore displaying these pieces of information in xsconsole, please, please?

I wanted to have a look at the commit history for xsconsole but the github repository at https://github.com/xenserver/xsconsole

Thank you, @stormi

I've opened a bug report at bugs.xenserver.org about it

Specifically: https://bugs.xenserver.org/browse/XSO-961

. Now you may want to open a bug report there about the missing information in the console. This could allow to know if it's a bug or a "feature".

Good idea. My bug report:

In the Host Performance Information:
"CPU Usage" and "Memory Usage" are Unavailable like in XCP-ng 8.0.0 😞

Pity!

I couldn't check this information in VM submenu, because XOA installation failed (no hardware virtualization support (or similar wording) in the nested hypervisor).

You can try on your side in a nested VM.

@stormi is on holidays right now and I'm pretty busy with other stuff.

This was probably removed in upstream, we didn't touch anything like that.

I remember (and can see) you've modified xsconsole recently (at least colours), so I thought that something could change by accident as well.

So the question is why Citix removed it? I suppose there's reasons for that.

Maybe for a reason, maybe not. Bugs happen.

Would you (XCP-ng developers) mind checking it in Citrix Xenserver? You probably have it installed and checking whether this issue is present there as well won't take much time, please?

FWIW, I'm seeing the same thing. Have you tried this in Xenserver 8.0? That would help determine where the change in behavior occurred.

No, because currently we don't use Citrix Xenserver.

P.S. I imagine most people get this information from either XO or XCP-ng Center. 😉

Sure, I use XCP-ng Center as well.
But xsconsole is very important for us for remote ssh access and for direct console access in the server room, especially during maintenance tasks, updating, rebooting etc., when xsconsole enables us to shutdown, start and verify that particular VMs in fact started and are running etc.
