Hi Jesper,

The user running the poller needs to be able to ssh key-less into the monitored machine, indeed. This is a requirement of libvirt when using the SSH method.

You can also connect to the libvirt daemon directly if you configure it like that, but I've never done that before.

Hi!

I get this error when enabling libvirt. This is on a CentOS 7 with Qemu :

##### *Module Start: **virtual-machines* #####

Virtual machines: Libvirt VM: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).

Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).

I have configured the following in config.php :

$config['enable_libvirt']=1; # Enable LibvirtVM support

$config['libvirt_protocols']=array("qemu+ssh","xen+ssh"); # Mechanisms used, add or remove if not using this on any of your machines.

What else is needed ?

I assume either username/password or key based access, but does this have to be set for the user running the observium poller/discovery or elsewhere ?
