Re: [Xen-users] Retrieving the load of each domU

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also, using libxenstat (there used to be Python bindings, but I don't know if 
there are, now) will give you stats without parsing xentop output.

Or you can calculate CPU usage directly in Python from values retrieved from 
Xen.

Cheers,
Mark
