There's this question on the list that is asked over and over again.
How do I get {cpu, memory, ...} usage in percentage? Or its modified
version: How do I plot nice graphs like virt-manager does?
It would be nice if we have an example to inspire people. And that's
what domtop should do. Yes, it could be written in different ways, but
I've chosen this one as I think it show explicitly what users need to
implement in order to imitate virt-manager's graphing.
Note: The usage is displayed from host perspective. That is, how much
host CPUs the domain is using. But it should be fairly simple to
switch do just guest CPU usage if needed.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
