+# xenstat.plugin
+
+`xenstat.plugin` collects XenServer and XCP-ng statistics.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. install `xen-dom0-libs-devel` and `yajl-devel` using the package manager of your system.
+
+2. re-install netdata from source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available and will also build xenstat.plugin.
+
+Keep in mind that `libxenstat` requires root access, so the plugin is setuid to root.
+
+## Charts
+
+The plugin provides XenServer and XCP-ng host and domains statistics:
+
+Host:
+1. Number of domains.
+
+Domain:
+1. CPU.
+2. Memory.
+3. Networks.
+4. VBDs.
+
+## Configuration
+
+If you need to disable xenstat for netdata, edit /etc/netdata/netdata.conf and set:
+
+```
+[plugins]
+ xenstat = no
+```
+
+## Debugging
+
+You can run the plugin by hand:
+
+```
+sudo /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/xenstat.plugin 1 debug
+```
+
+You will get verbose output on what the plugin does.
