### The required feature described as a wish ##### SUMMARY During a live migration the UI only shows the instance as `Migrating`, so admins have to run `virsh domjobinfo` on the source host to see how far along it is or whether it has stalled. This proposes showing migration progress for KVM first. The API field is hypervisor-neutral, so VMware, XenServer and others can add it later from their own task progress. ##### PROPOSAL - KVM agent: new command that returns the libvirt domain job info (disk and memory processed / remaining / total). - Management server: poll the source host every few seconds while the migrate work job runs, and store the result on the job with `updateAsyncJobStatus()`. - API: admin-only `migrationprogress` on the VM response while the state is `Migrating`, read from the pending `vm_work_job`. Percent is always set and the byte/rate figures are optional, since other hypervisors only report a percentage. - UI: progress bar under Status on the instance page with percentage, "x of y complete", estimated time remaining and transfer rate in MB/s. When volumes migrate with the VM, disks and memory get separate bars; libvirt already splits them in the same job info (`file*` / `mem*`). Mock-up attached. - Events: append a summary to the `VM.MIGRATE` Completed event description (data transferred, duration, average rate), and on Error - a record of how far it got and a short reason (e.g. timed out and not converging, destination unreachable). Sizes, rates and reason category only. I wouldn't include host or storage names, since the event can be visible to the VM owner. Happy to work on a PR if this approach is acceptable.
