For instance basic auth you can login doing the following: http://<user>%40<domain>:<password>@<engine_host>/ovirt-engine/api Will list the available REST api. But I am still not clear on what you are trying to do. Are you trying to write your own external servlet, that calls the REST api to do things for you? Or are you trying to write a servlet that lives inside the context of the engine and implements a new action? Also please reply all, so we can keep the discussion on the mailing list so other people can find it in the future.

[OUTAGE] ovirt.org wiki outage report [07/12/14]
by Eyal Edri 07 Dec '14

07 Dec '14

fyi, ovirt.org wiki page was down today from 01:33:07 IST till 10:22 IST. REASON: ======= after logging into the openshift gear, seems like there was 99.9% space taken. RESOLUTION: =========== deleted some logs from $OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_LOG_DIR, and restarted mysql using 'ctl_app restart'. space is still not great - at 84%, so we'll need to think soon how to resolve this. wiki is up now and seems to working well. infra - we should look into migrating to a new gear maybe? or extend again the existing one.

[QA] [DOC] Troubleshooting NFS Storage Issues
by Sandro Bonazzola 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hi, while testing hosted engine with a plain export like "/NotBackedUp/hosted 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0(rw)" I had some issues and was pointed to Troubleshooting NFS Storage Issues[1] wiki page. Can someone from storage team update / review it? I see things like: "The NFS server must support NFSv3. oVirt 3.0 does not support NFSv4, while oVirt 4.0 does support NFSv4" or suggesting to use "no_subtree_check" disabling subtree checking, which has mild security implications, but can improve reliability in some circumstances without proper description of why this is suggested. CC-ing all authors I managed to find looking at page history. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Troubleshooting_NFS_Storage_Issues Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation.

[QE][ACTION REQUIRED] oVirt 3.6.0 status
by Sandro Bonazzola 04 Dec '14

04 Dec '14

Hi, Release criteria discussion has been closed with last week oVirt sync meeting [1]. Release management for 3.6.0 [2] will soon be updated with the accepted changes in release criteria. The remaining key milestones for this release must now be scheduled. For reference, external project schedules we're tracking are: Fedora 21: 2014-12-09 Fedora 22: 2015-XX-XX GlusterFS 3.7: 2015-04-29 OpenStack Kilo: 2015-04-30 Two different proposals have been made about above scheduling [3]: 1) extend the cycle to 10 months for allowing to include a large feature set 2) reduce the cycle to less than 6 months and split features over 3.6 and 3.7 Feature proposed for 3.6.0 must now be collected in the 3.6 Google doc [4] and reviewed by maintainers. The tracker bug for 3.6.0 [5] currently shows no blockers. There are 453 bugs [6] targeted to 3.6.0. Excluding node and documentation bugs we have 430 bugs [7] targeted to 3.6.0.

Frontend - please avoid putting business logic into Views
by Vojtech Szocs 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hi guys, our GWT frontend generally follows the Model-View-Presenter design pattern via GWT-Platform MVP module [1]. [1] https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP/wiki/Getting-started Presenters/PresenterWidgets should be the ones containing the business logic. Views should only contain simple logic to perform necessary UI updates etc. Consider the following example of imaginary "Foo" dialog: // inside FooPopupView.java @Override public void edit(SomeModel model) { // this is OK! driver.edit(model); // please DON'T do this! model.getSomeAttribute().getEntityChangedEvent().addListener(...); } There are two main reasons why to avoid adding listeners to given model (i.e. SomeModel) inside View.edit() method: 1, MVP pattern encourages putting business logic into Presenter (reflecting Presenter's responsibility) 2, View.edit()'s responsibility is to populate UI from model data, and can be potentially called multiple times! Following example shows the "correct" (MVP-ish) way: // inside FooPopupPresenterWidget.java public interface ViewDef extends ... { // in your listener, you can use getView().doSomething() void doSomething(); } @Override public void init(SomeModel model) { // listeners are added only once, as they should! model.getSomeAttribute().getEntityChangedEvent().addListener(...); } This applies to both PresenterWidgets (typically dialogs) and "regular" Presenters (typically main/sub tabs etc). Also, please avoid explicit View impl. type casts inside Presenters/PresenterWidgets: // inside FooPopupPresenterWidget.java // please DON'T do this! ((FooPopupView) getView()).doSomething(); // you should use this! getView().doSomething(); Just modify the ViewDef interface to contain methods you need to invoke on the View. Please remember that ViewDef is THE interface between Presenter and View. Please avoid referencing specific View implementation inside Presenter. Let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Vojtech

Important change in UI plugins REST API integration
by Vojtech Szocs 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hi guys, an important change in UI plugins REST API integration landed in both master [1] and 3.5 [2] branches of oVirt Engine repo. [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/35185/ [2] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/35248/ Below is a short overview of this change and how it affects existing UI plugins. Please refer to commit message for more details. Situation before ================ WebAdmin login caused two separate Engine user sessions to be created: one for WebAdmin GUI itself, one for UI plugins (using same credentials as entered in WebAdmin login form). This resulted in two separate "user {user}@{domain} logged" entries in Engine log. REST session ID which maps to second Engine user session was broadcasted to all UI plugins via "RestApiSessionAcquired" event handler function. Upon WebAdmin logout, the second Engine user session was not closed; this was intentional so that any potential 3rd party systems using above mentioned REST session ID would still work. Situation after =============== WebAdmin login causes one Engine user session to be created. When acquiring REST session for UI plugins, existing Engine user session is reused via OVIRT-INTERNAL-ENGINE-AUTH-TOKEN header [3]. There is now only one "user {user}@{domain} logged" entry in Engine log. [3] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/35069/ Acquired REST session ID therefore maps to existing Engine user session. "RestApiSessionAcquired" API still works as expected. The only (possibly breaking) change is that upon WebAdmin logout, REST session ID previously passed to all UI plugins (upon last login) will not work anymore. While the physical session (REST webapp HttpSession) might still be active, the logical session (Engine user / SessionDataContainer) will be dead, therefore the physical REST session won't work after WebAdmin logout. In other words, usability of REST session ID is now strictly scoped to GUI user being authenticated. If the user logs in, (always) new REST session ID will be passed to all UI plugins. If the user logs out, REST session ID will not work anymore. This is in line with the general concept of UI plugins where each plugin is "active" (receives API callbacks) *only* when the GUI user is authenticated. See [4,5] for details. [4] http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins#Plugin_lifecycle "Plugin invocation context starts when user logs into WebAdmin and ends when user logs out." [5] http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins#Application_event_reference Let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Vojtech

Note that this isn't specific to hosted-engine, it's the same for any migration using engine-backup to backup/restore, therefore there is a link to its page in the top, where this is more detailed. We also have a bug [3] to automate this.
