KVM / Libvirt StopVm

Certified

Stop or shutdown KVM domain

Sends a shutdown or hard power-off (force) to a libvirt domain. Can optionally wait until the domain reaches SHUTOFF using exponential retry up to timeToWait (default PT60S). Requires access to the target libvirt URI.

enableAutobooleanstring

Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.
