Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 2/2] vm start: log qemu version when starting a VM
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 10:40:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624084201.168436-2-m.sandoval@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624084201.168436-1-m.sandoval@proxmox.com>
Previously, having the system journal and task logs from a boot was not
enough to determine which qemu version is installed nor the running QEMU
version of a VM. This is addressed by logging pve-qemu-kvm's package
version when starting the VM.
The package version is obtained with the 'query-version' qmp command.
