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.

1021 block-commit
1022 ------------
1024 Live commit of data from overlay image nodes into backing nodes - i.e., writes
1025 data between 'top' and 'base' into 'base'.
1027 Arguments:
1029 - "device": The device's ID, must be unique (json-string)
1030 - "base": The file name of the backing image to write data into.
1031 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1032 (json-string, optional)
1033 - "top": The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1034 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1035 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1037 - backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1038 image of 'top'. If 'top' is the active layer,
1039 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1040 filename is not validated.
1042 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1043 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1044 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1045 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1047 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1048 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1049 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1050 when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1051 filename or protocol.
1052 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1054 If top == base, that is an error.
1055 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1056 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1057 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1059 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1060 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1061 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1062 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1063 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1064 yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
1065 (json-string)
1066 - "speed": the maximum speed, in bytes per second (json-int, optional)

1203 transaction
1204 -----------
1206 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1207 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1208 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1209 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1210 for the group are abandoned.
1212 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1213 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1214 qcow2.
1216 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1217 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1218 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1219 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1220 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1221 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1223 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1225 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1226 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1227 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1228 and sheepdog.
1230 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1231 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1232 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1234 Arguments:
1236 actions array:
1237 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
1238 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
1239 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
1240 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":

1920 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
1921 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
1923 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
1924 device is encrypted) don't currently work

3097 -------------
3099 Migration status.
3101 Return a json-object. If migration is active there will be another json-object
3102 with RAM migration status and if block migration is active another one with
3103 block migration status.
3105 The main json-object contains the following:
3107 - "status": migration status (json-string)
3108 - Possible values: "setup", "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
3109 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
3110 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3111 time (json-int)
3112 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3113 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3114 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3115 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3116 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3117 themselves. (json-int)
3118 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3119 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3120 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3121 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3122 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3123 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3124 following RAM information:
3125 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3126 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3127 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3128 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3129 byte (json-int)
3130 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3131 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3132 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
3133 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3134 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3135 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3136 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3137 size (json-int)
3138 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3139 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3140 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3141 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3142 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3143 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3144 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3145 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3146 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3147 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3148 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3149 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3150 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3151 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3152 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3153 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3154 normal page).

3900 @x-input-send-event
3901 -----------------
3903 Send input event to guest.
3905 Arguments:
3907 - "console": console index. (json-int, optional)
3908 - "events": list of input events.
3910 The consoles are visible in the qom tree, under
3911 /backend/console[$index]. They have a device link and head property, so
3912 it is possible to map which console belongs to which device and display.
3914 Note: this command is experimental, and not a stable API.
3916 Example (1):
3918 Press left mouse button.
3920 -> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
3921 "arguments": { "console": 0,
3922 "events": [ { "type": "btn",
3923 "data" : { "down": true, "button": "Left" } } ] } }

3927 "arguments": { "console": 0,
3928 "events": [ { "type": "btn",
3929 "data" : { "down": false, "button": "Left" } } ] } }
3930 <- { "return": {} }
3932 Example (2):
3934 Press ctrl-alt-del.
3936 -> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
3937 "arguments": { "console": 0, "events": [
3938 { "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,
3939 "key": {"type": "qcode", "data": "ctrl" } } },
3940 { "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,

3942 { "type": "key", "data" : { "down": true,
3943 "key": {"type": "qcode", "data": "delete" } } } ] } }
3944 <- { "return": {} }
3946 Example (3):
3948 Move mouse pointer to absolute coordinates (20000, 400).
3950 -> { "execute": "x-input-send-event" ,
3951 "arguments": { "console": 0, "events": [
3952 { "type": "abs", "data" : { "axis": "X", "value" : 20000 } },

3965 block-set-write-threshold
3966 ------------
3968 Change the write threshold for a block drive. The threshold is an offset,
3969 thus must be non-negative. Default is no write threshold.
3970 Setting the threshold to zero disables it.
3972 Arguments:
3974 - "node-name": the node name in the block driver state graph (json-string)
3975 - "write-threshold": the write threshold in bytes (json-int)
