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)

1174 transaction
1175 -----------
1177 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported operations
1178 for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting. A list of
1179 dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1180 If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1181 for the group are abandoned.
1183 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1184 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1185 qcow2.
1187 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1188 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1189 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1190 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1191 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1192 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1194 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1196 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1197 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1198 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1199 and sheepdog.
1201 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1202 transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1203 it later with qemu-img or other command.
1205 Arguments:
1207 actions array:
1208 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
1209 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
1210 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
1211 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":
1212 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
1213 - "node-name": graph node name to snapshot (json-string)
1214 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)

1891 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
1892 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
1894 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
1895 device is encrypted) don't currently work

3045 query-migrate
3046 -------------
3048 Migration status.
3050 Return a json-object. If migration is active there will be another json-object
3051 with RAM migration status and if block migration is active another one with
3052 block migration status.
3054 The main json-object contains the following:
3056 - "status": migration status (json-string)
3057 - Possible values: "setup", "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
3058 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
3059 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
3060 time (json-int)
3061 - "setup-time" amount of setup time in milliseconds _before_ the
3062 iterations begin but _after_ the QMP command is issued.
3063 This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3064 (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not
3065 actually occur during the iterative migration rounds
3066 themselves. (json-int)
3067 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
3068 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
3069 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
3070 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
3071 the last bitmap round (json-int)
3072 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
3073 following RAM information:
3074 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3075 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
3076 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
3077 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
3078 byte (json-int)
3079 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3080 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3081 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
3082 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3083 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3084 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3085 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3086 size (json-int)
3087 - "dirty-sync-count": times that dirty ram was synchronized (json-int)
3088 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
3089 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
3090 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
3091 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3092 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3093 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3094 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3095 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3096 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3097 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3098 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3099 - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3100 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
3101 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3102 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3103 normal page).

3848 @x-input-send-event
3849 -----------------
3851 Send input event to guest.
3853 Arguments:
3855 - "console": console index. (json-int, optional)
3856 - "events": list of input events.
3858 The consoles are visible in the qom tree, under
3859 /backend/console[$index]. They have a device link and head property, so
3860 it is possible to map which console belongs to which device and display.
3862 Note: this command is experimental, and not a stable API.
3864 Example (1):
3866 Press left mouse button.
3868 -> { "execute": "x-input-send-event",
3869 "arguments": { "console": 0,
3870 "events": [ { "type": "btn",
