I have read user manual of virtualbox to find a way, but failed, can anyone give me an advice or a possible method?
Monitoring only a specific OS is fine for me, I don't need a universal way. But it's should be automatic.

How to monitor the rate of booting progress while using Virt
I want to get the rate of booting progress to improve the users' experience.

Re: How to monitor the rate of booting progress while using
What does "booting progress" mean? The VM is running some code, but the VM has no idea what code is running now or might run next - except of course that the GAs could potentially be detected going active near the end of a typical guest boot.
So you can detect 0%, and 100%, but nothing in between - so I doubt that would be much of a "progress" indicator.
The VM is independant - think of it as another PC which has a shared network connection. Obviously you can poll some network API until you get a response, but I can't think of much else you can do.
