@splastunov said in Host CPU Statistics:

You can get it with such command

That command doesn't give me the aggregate, it only gives me the CPU for Dom0. I'd like to get that aggregate number.

Is there a way to get this information from xl, or xe, or some other command line parameter?

@olivierlambert - Awesome! Thanks.

And Oliver, as a Founder and CEO, man are you connected to your product. Don't ever change!!

@olivierlambert said in Gracefully "Ask" XO to Reboot After Tasks Are Done:

Are you talking about rebooting XO VM itself based on a schedule?

Yes. All the other VMs are fine, but this is another VM just like the others that needs to be updated, patched, etc. So I want to add that to the automated updates, but I don't want to screw up XO in the process.

@olivierlambert - So I use Rundeck to schedule the commands apt-update, apt full-upgrade, apt autoremove, and then a vm reboot after that's all successfully completed. I have about a dozen VMs, and that's the process for all of them.

I also don't have any tasks scheduled within XO (with the exception of XO pool metadata & XO Config). It runs everyday at 9am, so that wouldn't conflict.

The Saturday update/reboot cycles start at around 3am, and take about an hour to complete through the 12 VMs.

Howdy - So I schedule automated updates and reboots for my homelab early on Saturday mornings. I've seen some things that this could be dangerous as there are possibilities that XO might be running tasks that would die if the machine reboots under it.

Is there a way to "ask" or inform XO that a reboot is required and to stop processing tasks until the system boots back up, or is it sufficient to just NOT schedule anything that could bump into that update/reboot timeframe?

@olivierlambert - I'd also like to say that I'm a very recent homelab convert over to XCP-NG. I've been using VMWare for like... 15 years.

I have a project at work that I use native Xen for, and have been really impressed with the security and control that we get out of it.

I've been in the process of shifting over to XCP-NG over this Christmas break, and I've been really, really happy. There was a bit of a learning curve, but I'm very happy that I'm going to be getting an increase in functionality over my free ESXi instance.

Really great work you're all doing!

@olivierlambert - Thanks for the quick response. So if I were to use a local cert (say, generated from my pfSense box), I would be able to use that cert.

Would I then just use the cert for the CA (my pfSense CA) in the Certificate Chain box?

I'd love to use Acme here, but something tells me it's more complicated than that.

When viewing the advanced section about a host, at the very bottom is this:

What does that do? I looked int he documentation, but couldn't find the section.
