Hello,

I've been struggling with TaskID/FlowID when talking to the VDSM API. I am trying to write a tool that uses the vdsm-api to facilitate the troubleshooting of image issues (snapshots). This tool does a series of API calls, but I cannot find a nice way to track the taskID and clear the completed tasks after completion of the tool commands. Currently I'm clearing all Tasks that match the verb and are finished, which is not ideal. I would like to have the exact TaskID to track and dont want to leave Tasks behind. I don't want also to clear tasks from other entities (like engine!).

I understand that if I want to specify the task/flow ids when calling the vdsm API, these two need to be passed as headers (http) so they end up in the context of the call. Is this correct? But using vdsm/client.py I cannot figure out how to do this, but I understand it is possible.

I've been looking at vdsm/common/api.py and vdsm/client.py and trying several things but nothing seems to do it. Could anyone please put some light on this?

Thanks,

Germano
