<h1>Bug reporting</h1>
<p>
The <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com">Red Hat Bugzilla Server</a>
should be used to report bugs and request features against libvirt.
Before submitting a ticket, check the existing tickets to see if
the bug/feature is already tracked.
</p>
<h2>General libvirt bug reports</h2>
<p>
If you are using official libvirt binaries from a Linux distribution
check below for distribution specific bug reporting policies first.
For general libvirt bug reports, from self-built releases, GIT snapshots
and any other non-distribution supported builds, enter tickets under
the <code>Virtualization Tools</code> product and the <code>libvirt</code>
component.

<h2>How to file high quality bug reports</h2>
<p>
To increase the likelihood of your bug report being addressed it is
important to provide as much information as possible. When filing
libvirt bugs use this checklist to see if you are providing enough
information:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The version number of the libvirt build, or SHA1 of the GIT
commit</li>
<li>The hardware architecture being used</li>
<li>The name of the hypervisor (Xen, QEMU, KVM)</li>
<li>The XML config of the guest domain if relevant</li>
<li>For Xen hypervisor, the XenD logfile from /var/log/xen</li>
<li>For QEMU/KVM, the domain logfile from /var/log/libvirt/qemu</li>
</ul>
<p>
If requesting a new feature attach any available patch to the ticket
and also email the patch to the libvirt mailing list for discussion
