Connecting to a VM console with Spice via the RHEV/Ovirt admin interface
works just fine. How can I connect to a VM's console using a
free-standing Spice viewer, such as the Chrome Spice Viewer plug-in?
I've so far found no information on this at all.

Hi John,
do you mean 'Spice client' addon in chrome store?
From what I learnt about the client, it seems it's basically HTML5
client for SPICE. For this you must set up your websocket proxy.
I believe the easier way is to use already built-in SPICE-HTML5 client. It should run on
Firefox and Chrome. Please take a look at this page [1] and feel free to contact me about
it.
There is also possibility of setting up websocket proxy and connecting to spice port
directly, but IMHO that wouldn't be exactly user-friendly.
Cheers,
Franta.

The steps are:
1. Find the VM's UUID in the API
https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=VMNAME
2. Find the VM's current host and spice ports:
https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms/UUID/
Look for the <display> section - it will hold the host IP or FQDN, and the
spice ports
3. Issue a spice ticket via https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms/UUID/ticket
4. Connect with a spice client (remote-viewer or spicec) with the target
being HOST:PORT and the ticket you issued as password
All this can be scripted via the API or the engine CLI
Hope this helps

Thanks for the info Dan. If that's what it takes I'll need to use a
different method. The one you describe is not only very messy but
extremely breakable and error prone (e.g. if the VM migrates to another
host).

Not really messy when scripted, each step is a small API command after all.
This is what oVirt does when you connect, getting the data and populating
the .vv file for you. So if the VM migrates in the instant it takes to get
the info, the connection will fail, so you simply rerun the connect script.
