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 VMsno longer are displayed "CPU Usage" and "Memory Usage".
Here you are examples:
- In 7.6.0:
│ VMs Running On This Host XOA │ │ │ │ VM1 Power State Running │ │ VM222 Memory 2.0GB │ │ VM333333 CPU Usage 0% of 2 CPUs │ │ VM4 Memory Usage 61% (1.2GB) │ │ VM55 Network 0/ip 10.1.0.4 │ │ VM66 Network 0/ipv4/0 10.1.0.4 │ │ VM777 │ │ VM888 │ │ VM9999 │ │ VM10000 │ │ VM11000 │ │ XOA ││ Virtual Machines Host Performance Information │ │ │ │ VMs Running On This Host CPU Usage 35% of 4 CPUs │ │ Host Performance Information Memory Usage 72% of 23GB │ │ All VMs ││ All VMs XOA │ │ │ │ VM1 Power State Running │ │ VM222 Memory 2.0GB │ │ VM333333 CPU Usage 0% of 2 CPUs │ │ VM4 Memory Usage 62% (1.2GB) │ │ VM55 Network 0/ip 10.1.0.4 │ │ VM66 Network 0/ipv4/0 10.1.0.4 │ │ VM777 │ │ VM888 │ │ VM9999 │ │ VM10000 │ │ VM11000 │ │ XOA │- In 8.0.0:
│ VMs Running On This Host XOA │ │ │ │ XOA Power State Running │ │ Memory 2.0GB │ │ CPU Usage <Unknown> │ │ Memory Usage <Unavailable> ││ Virtual Machines Host Performance Information │ │ │ │ VMs Running On This Host CPU Usage <Unavailable> │ │ Host Performance Information Memory Usage <Unavailable> │ │ All VMs ││ All VMs XOA │ │ │ │ someVM Power State Running │ │ someotherVM Memory 2.0GB │ │ someotherotherVM CPU Usage <Unknown> │ │ someelseotherVM Memory Usage <Unavailable> │ │ XOA Network 0/ip 10.1.0.12 │ │ Network 0/ipv4/0 10.1.0.12 │Could you restore displaying these pieces of information in xsconsole, please, 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.
P.S. I imagine most people get this information from either XO or XCP-ng Center.

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

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. -
This was probably removed in upstream, we didn't touch anything like that.
So the question is why Citix removed it? I suppose there's reasons for 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.

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?

We need to compare with CH 8.0 to see if it's still here. You can try on your side in a nested VM.
@stormi is on holidays right now and I'm pretty busy with other stuff.

@olivierlambert I installed Citrix Hypervisor 8.0.0 as a VM.
In theHost Performance Information:
"CPU Usage" and "Memory Usage" areUnavailablelike 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).

I wanted to have a look at the commit history for xsconsole but the github repository at https://github.com/xenserver/xsconsole
I've opened a bug report at bugs.xenserver.org about it. 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".

Thank you, @stormi
I've opened a bug report at bugs.xenserver.org about it
Specifically: https://bugs.xenserver.org/browse/XSO-961

Good idea. My bug report:
