get VM memory usage

[Scott Brickey]

currently, it is my understanding that vboxsrv (which is used by phpVirtualBox) does not provide a mechanism to report the memory usage of VM's (including page fusion, ballooning, etc).

I would like to be able to obtain information about the memory usage of each VM, and of the host (eliminating duplicates due to page fusion).

Currently, phpVirtualBox is only able to get the amount of host memory used / free... no distinction between system memory and VM memory usage... if it's already available, just indicate how to obtain the info (which I will relay)... if not, please provide it.

You are aware of the guest/host metrics (VBoxManage metrics), right?

[Scott Brickey]

I was not... assuming this info is accessible using vboxsrv as well, then my request has been fulfilled :)

[Frank Mehnert]

Yes, just have a look at the implementation of the VBoxManage application. vboxsrv should be able to do the same.

found the IPerformanceCollecter API... all is good... thanks :)
