Hello oVirt Development team____
__ __
We had some more questions as we continue working on REST APIs.
Kindly help us answer the same. ____
__ __
What is the expiry of generated access_token? ____
*Description: *We have observed that the output of
*“/ovirt-engine/sso/oauth/token” *contains a field *“exp”* which
points to the date when the access_token is going to expire. In our
case, we have seen this value to be 8 days later. However, the
access_token gets expired within an hour. We would like to
understand exactly what is the lifetime of this access_token? What
we are seeing is something unexpected? Is this value configurable by
users?
I know you can increase user session timeout in engine-config property
called 'UserSessionTimeOutInterval', by default it's one hour (note you
must restart ovirt-engine in order to take effect of the change). How
the field 'exp' is related, I don't exactly know. Ravi?

How to retrieve the ‘creation_status’ of the snapshot through REST
API? ____
*Description: *We see there is a way to get it as part of query
snapshot API viz
/ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm_id>/snapshots/<snapshot_id> where the
response contains detailed information of snapshot, along with the
field *"snapshot_status": "ok". *Just wanted to check if there
is
another API explicitly devoted to getting the creation status so
that we can poll it periodically to know the status?____
At least in CURL, we see there is some URL to fetch the creation
status like this /ovirt-engine/api/<vm_id>/snapshots/<snapshot_id>
/creation_status/<WHAT_IS_THIS_ID?>"____
The link to creation_status is provided in the response of create
snapshot operation, if you do it asynchronously. But it's not recomended
to use it that way. As you've described polling the 'snapshot_status'
attribute is the best way of waiting for operation to finish.
__ __
*Q.* How to call a DELETE snapshot API with ‘async’ operation as
‘false’? ____
*Description: *The documentation for DELETE snapshot API mentions
that the DELETE operation can be invoked synchronously or
asynchronously based on the value of the parameter ‘async’. I wanted
to perform DELETE operation synchronously, so tried providing this
parameter in the body as “<async>false<async>”, still it was doing
the operation asynchronously. Please advise on the correct usage of it.
Same as above the sync/async is incorrect here. Both operations behave
the same, but async will return the 'creation_status' which you can poll
to get the result, but every operation is implemented differently so I
wouldn't recomend to use it.
If you want to be sure the snapshost is deleted I the best way is the
run DELETE /api/vms/123/snapshots/456, and then do polling of /api/vms
/123/snapshots/456 until it returns 404. This operation unfortunatelly
can't be invoked synchronously.
