Ah, sorry, I missed the fact you're using 4.1, this was introduced in 4.2 [1]
Regardless, correlation id will no appear in the job's fields, but it can be used to search (again, in 4.2)

What you can probably do is just check the state of the system (i.e. the number of snapshots stayed the same after a period of time)
You can also use the events in the audit log[2]
The list of events can be found here: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/blob/master/backend/manager/modules/common/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/common/AuditLogType.java#L530
But I haven't tried this and I'm not sure if it's reliable

I tried this approach but with the snapshot deletion task instead of
creating one.

     customuuid = uuid4()
     snaps_service.service(newsnap.id).remove(query={'correlation_id':
customuuid})

However, when this task is run, I see no task with this correlation_id.
Moreover, I cannot find a correlation_id field in the job object.

In [40]: job
Out[40]: <ovirtsdk4.types.Job at 0x7f30c9312a10>

In [41]: job.
job.auto_cleared  job.description   job.external      job.id           
job.name          job.start_time    job.steps
job.comment       job.end_time      job.href          job.last_updated 
job.owner         job.status

The 'id' field doesn't correspond to the correlation_id generated above.

This won't work either, it returns an exception claiming this:

TypeError: list() got an unexpected keyword argument 'search'

Any further hints with this?

Thanks
