Hi Eli, I've perused the design and it looks very good for the purpose of adding events to the log as back end tasks on the NetApp VSC are started and complete.
I do have one question. As part of the new UI plugin framework that Vojtech is working on he added the capability to retrieve a session ID that will be used outside of the oVirt engine to invoke REST API calls. I'm assuming this session would have the same role as the user that is currently logged in. According to the event log design, only the Super user will have permissions to add events by default. This would mean that if anyone other than the super user is logged in and performing any tasks through the NetApp plugin, the server side of the VSC will likely not be able to log events. This could be confusing for users as sometimes they see events showing up giving them information on the task progress and sometimes they don't depending on the role logged in. Would it make sense to allow all roles to log events by default? I'm not sure what security problems would arise given that it is just a log and they would be tagged as external events. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eli Mesika Sent: Monday, November 19, 2012 7:24 AM To: engine-devel Subject: [Engine-devel] Design review summary for 3.2 - adding support for External Events Discussion : http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Talk:ExternalEvents Updated Design : http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/Design/DetailedExternalEvents#Future_directions _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
