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.

992 block-commit
993 ------------
995 Live commit of data from overlay image nodes into backing nodes - i.e., writes
996 data between 'top' and 'base' into 'base'.
998 Arguments:
1000 - "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1001 - "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1002 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1003 (json-string, optional)
1004 - "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1005 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1006 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1008 - backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1009 image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
1010 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1011 filename is not validated.
1013 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1014 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1015 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1016 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1018 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1019 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1020 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1021 when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1022 filename or protocol.
1023 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1025 If top == base, that is an error.
1026 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1027 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1028 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1030 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1031 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1032 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1033 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1034 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1035 yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
1036 (json-string)
1037 - "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
1040 Example:

1068 (json-string)
1069 - "target": the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a
1070 device, the existing file/device will be used as the new
1071 destination. If it does not exist, a new file will be created.
1072 (json-string)
1073 - "format": the format of the new destination, default is to probe if 'mode' is
1074 'existing', else the format of the source
1075 (json-string, optional)
1076 - "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1077 possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1078 allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O
1079 (MirrorSyncMode).
1080 - "mode": whether and how QEMU should create a new image
1081 (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')
1082 - "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)
1083 - "on-source-error": the action to take on an error on the source, default
1084 'report'. 'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used
1085 if the block device supports io-status.
1086 (BlockdevOnError, optional)
1087 - "on-target-error": the action to take on an error on the target, default
1088 'report' (no limitations, since this applies to
1089 a different block device than device).

1132 transaction
1133 -----------
1135 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1136 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1137 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1138 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1139 for the group are abandoned.
1141 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1142 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1143 qcow2.
1145 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1146 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1147 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1148 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1149 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1150 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1152 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1154 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1155 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1156 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1157 and sheepdog.
1159 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1160 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1161 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1163 Arguments:
1165 actions array:
1166 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
1167 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
1168 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value

1840 Notes:
1842 (1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
1843 names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
1844 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
1845 use this command
1847 (2) Limitations:
1849 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
1850 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
1852 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
1853 device is encrypted) don't currently work

3003 query-migrate
3004 -------------
3006 Migration status.
3008 Return a json-object. If migration is active there will be another json-object
3009 with RAM migration status and if block migration is active another one with
3010 block migration status.
3012 The main json-object contains the following:
3014 - "status": migration status (json-string)
3015 - Possible values: "setup", "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
3016 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
3017 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3018 time (json-int)
3019 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3020 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3021 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3022 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3023 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3024 themselves. (json-int)
3025 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3026 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3027 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3028 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3029 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3030 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3031 following RAM information:
3032 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3033 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3034 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3035 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3036 byte (json-int)
3037 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3038 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3039 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
3040 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3041 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3042 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3043 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3044 size (json-int)
3045 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3046 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3047 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3048 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3049 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3050 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3051 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3052 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3053 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3054 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3055 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3056 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3057 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3058 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3059 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3060 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3061 normal page).

3806 @x-input-send-event
3807 -----------------
3809 Send input event to guest.
3811 Arguments:
3813 - "console": console index. (json-int, optional)
3814 - "events": list of input events.
3816 The consoles are visible in the qom tree, under
3817 /backend/console[$index]. They have a device link and head property, so
3818 it is possible to map which console belongs to which device and display.
3820 Note: this command is experimental, and not a stable API.
3822 Example (1):
3824 Press left mouse button.
3826 -> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
3827 "arguments": { "console": 0,
3828 "events": [ { "type": "btn",
3829 "data" : { "down": true, "button": "Left" } } ] } }
3830 <- { "return": {} }
3832 -> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
3833 "arguments": { "console": 0,
3834 "events": [ { "type": "btn",
3835 "data" : { "down": false, "button": "Left" } } ] } }
3836 <- { "return": {} }
3838 Example (2):
3840 Press ctrl-alt-del.
3842 -> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
3843 "arguments": { "console": 0, "events": [
3844 { "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,
3845 "key": {"type": "qcode", "data": "ctrl" } } },
3846 { "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,
3847 "key": {"type": "qcode", "data": "alt" } } },
3848 { "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,
3849 "key": {"type": "qcode", "data": "delete" } } } ] } }
3850 <- { "return": {} }
3852 Example (3):
3854 Move mouse pointer to absolute coordinates (20000, 400).
3856 -> { "execute": "x-input-send-event" ,
3857 "arguments": { "console": 0, "events": [
3858 { "type": "abs", "data" : { "axis": "X", "value" : 20000 } },
3859 { "type": "abs", "data" : { "axis": "Y", "value" : 400 } } ] } }
