6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
9 This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
11 Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
12 means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
13 QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
15 QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
16 usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
17 return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
19 It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
20 a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
21 protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
23 Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
25 -> data issued by the Client
26 <- Server data response
28 Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29 information on the Server command and response formats.
31 NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
33 1. Stability Considerations
34 ===========================
36 The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
37 number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
38 defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
40 These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
41 and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
43 If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
45 1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
46 check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
47 QEMU is available
49 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
51 3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
52 for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
53 check for the "error" key)
55 2. Regular Commands
56 ===================
58 Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
59 refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

1014 Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
1016 Arguments:
1018 - "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1019 - "base": The file name of the backing image above which copying starts
1020 (json-string, optional)
1021 - "backing-file": The backing file string to write into the active layer. This
1022 filename is not validated.
1024 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
1025 QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must use
1026 node-names for the image in question, as filename lookup
1027 methods will fail.
1029 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the
1030 backing file string to use, or error out if there is no
1031 obvious choice. Care should be taken when specifying the
1032 string, to specify a valid filename or protocol.

1055 ------------
1057 Live commit of data from overlay image nodes into backing nodes - i.e., writes
1058 data between 'top' and 'base' into 'base'.
1060 Arguments:
1062 - "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1063 - "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1064 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1065 (json-string, optional)
1066 - "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1067 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1068 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1070 - backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1071 image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
1072 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1073 filename is not validated.
1075 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1076 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1077 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1078 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1080 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1081 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1082 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1083 when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1084 filename or protocol.
1085 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1087 If top == base, that is an error.
1088 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1089 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1090 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1092 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1093 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1094 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1095 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1096 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1097 yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
1098 (json-string)

1238 transaction
1239 -----------
1241 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1242 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1243 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1244 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1245 for the group are abandoned.
1247 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1248 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1249 qcow2.
1251 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1252 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1253 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1254 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1255 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1256 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1258 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1260 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1261 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1262 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1263 and sheepdog.
1265 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1266 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1267 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1269 Arguments:
1271 actions array:
1272 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
1273 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
1274 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
1275 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":
1276 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)

1570 -------------------
1571 Since: 2.1
1573 Change the backing file in the image file metadata. This does not cause
1574 QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename (it may,
1575 however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o -> r/w -> r/o,
1576 if needed). The new backing file string is written into the image file
1577 metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are updated.
1579 Arguments:
1581 - "image-node-name": The name of the block driver state node of the
1582 image to modify. The "device" is argument is used to
1583 verify "image-node-name" is in the chain described by
1584 "device".
1585 (json-string, optional)
1587 - "device": The name of the device.
1588 (json-string)
1590 - "backing-file": The string to write as the backing file. This string is
1591 not validated, so care should be taken when specifying
1592 the string or the image chain may not be able to be
1593 reopened again.

3219 -------------
3221 Migration status.
3223 Return a json-object. If migration is active there will be another json-object
3224 with RAM migration status and if block migration is active another one with
3225 block migration status.
3227 The main json-object contains the following:
3229 - "status": migration status (json-string)
3230 - Possible values: "setup", "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
3231 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
3232 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3233 time (json-int)
3234 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3235 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3236 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3237 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3238 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3239 themselves. (json-int)
3240 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3241 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3242 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3243 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3244 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3245 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3246 following RAM information:
3247 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3248 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3249 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3250 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3251 byte (json-int)
3252 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3253 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3254 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
3255 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3256 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3257 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3258 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3259 size (json-int)
3260 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3261 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3262 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3263 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3264 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3265 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3266 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3267 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3268 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3269 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3270 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3271 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3272 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3273 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3274 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3275 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3276 normal page).

3752 ---------------
3754 Show rx-filter information.
3756 Returns a json-array of rx-filter information for all NICs (or for the
3757 given NIC), returning an error if the given NIC doesn't exist, or
3758 given NIC doesn't support rx-filter querying, or given net client
3759 isn't a NIC.
3761 The query will clear the event notification flag of each NIC, then qemu
3762 will start to emit event to QMP monitor.
3764 Each array entry contains the following:
3766 - "name": net client name (json-string)
3767 - "promiscuous": promiscuous mode is enabled (json-bool)
3768 - "multicast": multicast receive state (one of 'normal', 'none', 'all')
3769 - "unicast": unicast receive state (one of 'normal', 'none', 'all')
3770 - "vlan": vlan receive state (one of 'normal', 'none', 'all') (Since 2.0)
3771 - "broadcast-allowed": allow to receive broadcast (json-bool)
3772 - "multicast-overflow": multicast table is overflowed (json-bool)
3773 - "unicast-overflow": unicast table is overflowed (json-bool)
