Trying to get oVirt backups working after seeing the notifications in my admin interface that no backups have occurred.

I am having a few dramas running it. First if I just run engine-backup mode=backup it fails as it does not have a default option for a log file. So I musy run engine-backup --mode=backup --log=/var/log/ovirt-backup

Next once it runs it fails to notify the engine. Here is the output from the log file:

2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: OUTPUT: Notifying engine 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: pg_cmd running: psql -w -U engine -h localhost -p 5432 engine -t -c SELECT LogEngineBackupEvent('files', now(), -1, 'Failed', '$HOSTNAME', '/tmp/test'); psql: fe_sendauth: no password supplied 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: FATAL: Failed notifying engine 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: OUTPUT: Notifying engine 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: pg_cmd running: psql -w -U engine -h localhost -p 5432 engine -t -c SELECT LogEngineBackupEvent('files', now(), -1, 'Failed notifying engine', '$HOSTNAME', '/tmp/test'); psql: fe_sendauth: no password supplied 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: FATAL: Failed notifying engine 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: OUTPUT: Notifying engine 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: pg_cmd running: psql -w -U engine -h localhost -p 5432 engine -t -c SELECT LogEngineBackupEvent('files', now(), -1, 'Failed notifying engine', '$HOSTNAME', '/tmp/test'); psql: fe_sendauth: no password supplied 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: FATAL: Failed notifying engine 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: OUTPUT: Notifying engine 2015-11-16 09:34:57 28124: pg_cmd running: psql -w -U engine -h localhost -p 5432 engine -t -c SELECT LogEngineBackupEvent('files', now(), -1, 'Failed notifying engine', '$HOSTNAME', '/tmp/test'); psql: fe_sendauth: no password supplied

It's most probably [1]. If it's something else, please provide full command line and log. Thanks! [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1240923 Best, -- Didi
