Thank you for using check_rhev3.
Inside the detailed doc " All RHEV Checks are executed via RHEV REST-API, so the following requirements must be met: HTTPS connection from Monitoring server to RHEV Manager (default: TCP/8443) RHEV Admin user for REST-API login " Can we somehow limit the power of the user? Is there a predefined role that has a sort of "select all" (such as 'select any table' in Oracle terms) or could it be easily built and set? Thanks, Gianluca

This is a good point. Can there be a "read only" type of user?

This was required for RHEV 3.0, which was the version I initially wrote the plugin for. For newer versions (>= 3.1) of oVirt and RHEV you only need the following permissions (create new role for it, or is there a role available in oVirt > 3.2.1?): Account Type: Admin System - Configure System - Login Permissions This allows a user to connect to REST-API (and Administrator Portal) and read everything, but doesn't allow any changes (=> read only). I'll update the documentation. Thanks for reporting this documentation bug. Regards, René

there should be a built-in 'viewer' role with this

In my oVirt 3.2.1 setup there's no such predefined role. Was this maybe added later?
