But it isn't as I said already. And so we are keeping the ping code and that is why vdsm needs to solve the setupNetworks/ping bug. Martin On Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 2:50 PM, Roy Golan <rgolan@redhat.com> wrote:

What stomp heartbeat? There is no such thing in the Python json rpc client.

MOM and hosted engine use the ping verb to verify the connection is still OK. The RPC client did not have any reconnect logic in the past (and I think it still does not..).

We do not protect any other endpoints that can cause the host to go wild (storage or even setupNetworks). I agree with Edward it is the responsibility of the caller to do the right thing. You need to be root or have the certificate to talk to VDSM anyway.
