I'm working on (Zabbix) monitoring through the RESTful API.
Very nice - do you use my check_rhev3 Nagios plugin (https://github.com/ovido/check_rhev3) or are you working on your own script?
Which role should I assign to the monitoring user?
The user only needs read access to the data but it looks like I nead to assign at least an "Admin" role to the user to be able to read data through the API.
For this I've created a "AdminLoginOnly" role that only has System->Configure System->Login Permissions access.
Is this the way to go for this king of configuration? Or is there a way to further minimize the permissions of this user?
I create a custom role with these permissions for Nagios monitoring, too. I was thinking that in oVirt 3.3 there should be a predefined viewers-role, but can't find it in my setup :(
Another issue is that a "Login" event is generated every time the user connects through the API. This makes the "Events" pane less useful / readable. Is there a way to disable this for some users/roles?
It depends if you have your own script or check_rhev3: - check_rhev3 1.2: use option -o - check_rhev3 1.3: you should not see any login information in this version anymore - custom script: see this page on information how to use the JSESSIONID cookie: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/RESTSessionManagement Regards, René
