Network Inspect

Purpose​

Network Inspect — Inspection surface.

When to use it​

  • Operate Network Inspect when your job matches this surface
  • Prefer dry-run / doctor before mutating repairs on disks
  • Shut down the guest before write operations

How to get there​

  • Doc id: network
  • Nav: Inspection → Network Inspect
  • Primary interface: guestkit network IMAGE · REPL · TUI Network

Operate from CLI / TUI (UX)​

  1. guestkit network IMAGE · REPL · TUI Network.
  2. guestkit network disk.qcow2.
  3. --show-interfaces / --show-dns / --show-routes.
  4. --export-json.
  5. Or inspect --include-network.
  6. Live: agent-proxy /evidence or KubeVirt guest/network.
  7. Empty / fail: No ifaces → cloud-init-only / netplan not parsed.
  8. Success: Interfaces + IP/MAC/DHCP + DNS.

Host needs Linux + qemu-img / losetup / qemu-nbd; mount/repair often need root. GuestKit does not invent disk contents.
