[Xen-users] Xenmon execution count problem

[Marco Tizzoni <marco.tizzoni@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,
I've some doubts about Xenmon utilization.

Using it in interactive mode with --excount option Xenmon displays
execution count for both 10 and 1 second slice.
In batch mode (-n option) displays something like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# passed cpu dom cpu(tot) cpu(%) cpu/ex allocated/ex blocked(tot)
blocked(%) blocked/io waited(tot) waited(%) waited/ex ex/s io(tot)
io/ex
0.000 0 0 0.009 0.000 18786.000 30000000.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.001

Which field reports the execution count? I can guess ex/s is the right
field (as the name recall) but it's not an integer field as it should
be.

I had a look to the code and it seems just a formatting issue. What I
cannot understand is why a counter, integer for definition, has to be
printed out as a float.

In  writelog() functions we have:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 outfiles[dom].write("%.3f %d %d %.3f %.3f %.3f %.3f %.3f %.3f %.3f
%.3f %.3f %.3f %.3f %.3f %.3f\n" %
                                    (interval, cpuidx, domain_id[dom],
                                    h1[dom][0][0], h1[dom][0][1],
h1[dom][0][2],
                                    h1[dom][1],
                                    h1[dom][2][0], h1[dom][2][1],
h1[dom][2][2],
                                    h1[dom][3][0], h1[dom][3][1],
h1[dom][3][2],
                                    h1[dom][4],
                                    h1[dom][5][0], h1[dom][5][1]))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

h1[dom][4] seems to be the right field, and the show_livestats(cpu)
functions confirms this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               # display ex count
               if options.excount:
                   row += 1
                   col = 2
                   display_domain_id(stdscr, row, col, domain_id[dom])

                   col += 28
                   display(stdscr, row, col, "%d/s" % h2[dom][4])
                   col += 42
                   display(stdscr, row, col, "%d" % h1[dom][4])
                   col += 18
                   display(stdscr, row, col, "Execution count")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, printing out execution count as an interger and as a float shows
the printed integer is a "truncated float".

Someone knows why execution count is a float and not an integer???

thx,
Marco
