Adding upstream version 1.34.4. Signed-off-by: Daniel Baumann <daniel@debian.org>

# Libvirt Input Plugin
This plugin collects statistics about virtualized guests on a system by using
the [libvirt][libvirt] virtualization API. Metrics are gathered directly from
the hypervisor on a host system, so Telegraf doesn't have to be installed and
configured on a guest system.
⭐ Telegraf v1.25.0
🏷️ server
💻 all
[libvirt]: https://libvirt.org/
## Requirements
For proper operation of the plugin, it is required that the host system has:
- enabled virtualization options for host CPU
- libvirtd and its dependencies installed and running
- [qemu hypervisor][qemu] installed and running
- at least one virtual machine for statistics monitoring
[qemu]: https://www.qemu.org/
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# The libvirt plugin collects statistics from virtualized guests using virtualization libvirt API.
[[inputs.libvirt]]
## Domain names from which libvirt gather statistics.
## By default (empty or missing array) the plugin gather statistics from each domain registered in the host system.
# domains = []
## Libvirt connection URI with hypervisor.
## The plugin supports multiple transport protocols and approaches which are configurable via the URI.
## The general URI form: driver[+transport]://[username@][hostname][:port]/[path][?extraparameters]
## Supported transport protocols: ssh, tcp, tls, unix
## URI examples for each type of transport protocol:
## 1. SSH: qemu+ssh://<USER@IP_OR_HOSTNAME>/system?keyfile=/<PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY>&known_hosts=/<PATH_TO_known_hosts>
## 2. TCP: qemu+tcp://<IP_OR_HOSTNAME>/system
## 3. TLS: qemu+tls://<HOSTNAME>/system?pkipath=/certs_dir/<COMMON_LOCATION_OF_CACERT_AND_SERVER_CLIENT_CERTS>
## 4. UNIX: qemu+unix:///system?socket=/<PATH_TO_libvirt-sock>
## Default URI is qemu:///system
# libvirt_uri = "qemu:///system"
## Statistics groups for which libvirt plugin will gather statistics.
## Supported statistics groups: state, cpu_total, balloon, vcpu, interface, block, perf, iothread, memory, dirtyrate
## Empty array means no metrics for statistics groups will be exposed by the plugin.
## By default the plugin will gather all available statistics.
# statistics_groups = ["state", "cpu_total", "balloon", "vcpu", "interface", "block", "perf", "iothread", "memory", "dirtyrate"]
## A list containing additional statistics to be exposed by libvirt plugin.
## Supported additional statistics: vcpu_mapping
## By default (empty or missing array) the plugin will not collect additional statistics.
# additional_statistics = []
```

- [Libvirt URI docs](https://libvirt.org/uri.html)
- [TLS setup for libvirt](https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TLSSetup)
In cases when one or more of the following occur:
- the global Telegraf variable `interval` is set to a low value (e.g. 1s),
- a significant number of VMs are monitored,
- the medium connecting the plugin to the hypervisor is inefficient,
It is possible that following warning in the logs appears:
`Collection took longer than expected`.
For that case, `interval` should be set inside plugin configuration.
Its value should be adjusted to plugin's runtime environment.
Example:
```toml
[[inputs.libvirt]]
interval = "30s"
```
### Example configuration
```toml
[[inputs.libvirt]]
domain_names = ["ubuntu_20"]
libvirt_uri = "qemu:///system"
libvirt_metrics = ["state", "interface"]
additional_statistics = ["vcpu_mapping"]
```
## Metrics
See the table below for a list of metrics produced by the plugin.
The exact metric format depends on the statistics libvirt reports,
which may vary depending on the version of libvirt on your system.
The metrics are divided into the following groups of statistics:
- state
- cpu_total
- balloon
- vcpu
- net
- perf
- block
- iothread
- memory
- dirtyrate
- vcpu_mapping - additional statistics
Statistics groups from the plugin corresponds to the grouping of
metrics directly read from libvirtd using the `virsh domstats` command.
More details about metrics can be found at the links below:
