Hi,
if I get this correctly, you'd like to be notified when certain event
happens (VM created/deleted/etc.) and react upon that. I see multiple
possible approaches here:
0, improve Engine extension API (refer to Alon Bar-Lev for details)
- if extensions can be packaged as JARs and these JARs could include
web fragments [1] it would mean the possibility to deploy custom
servlets onto existing Engine instance (in context of webapp that
processes extensions)
- your custom Java servlet could query REST interface (or be notified
once something happens, but AFAIK we don't have that implemented yet)
and do whatever logic is needed
- once I asked Alon about ^^ but never got response from him
- IMHO this would be a nice way to deploy custom Java code on Engine
[1] https://blogs.oracle.com/swchan/entry/servlet_3_0_web_fragment
1, improve UI plugin API
- add "VirtualMachineDataLoaded" event fired upon each refresh of
VM data in UI table (generalization -> "{Entity}DataLoaded")
- this is similar to existing "{Entity}SelectionChange" events
2, write UI plugin that uses oVirtJS to periodically check VM events
The disadvantage of 1, and 2, is that WebAdmin GUI must be open.
In any case, if you'd like to explore the possibility of doing this
via UI plugin, I'm here to help.

Hi
CC-ing also Vojtech, the "father" of the UI plugins.
Anyway, the only way to accomplish that via UI plugins at the moment is via
adding a new "action menu item", that in the background deleted the VM, and
reports to Foreman.
I would be nice to have a "hook" for different UI action items, but it
isn't
available at the moment.
There are plenty code samples for UI plugins, most of them available at:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins
I must say that I'm not sure webhooks are the right approach for that, as I
guess it is relevant only in environments in which one doesn't use the
API/CLI/SDK....
but.. it will be a cool feature!
Regards,
Oved
