The same exact problem occurred this morning, at approximately the same time (Monday
morning, right around 8:00am Eastern Time) as before (14 days ago).
I see that "ETL Service Started" in the logs.
And then, after that, all hell broke loose, and I lost access to the whole environment
before the engine came back online.
When I logged into the oVirt admin portal / Engine web UI, most VMs were healthy (again,
after they were all down for a brief period of time), but 2-3 of the VMs were in a paused
state. I wound up having to power them down before they would come back online.
This time, unlike 14 days ago, all 3 volumes and bricks were healthy.
Gluster replication between the hosts wasn't behind or anything.
I need to track down why this is happening, and try to prevent it.
Right now, I only have 1Gbps connectivity on the storage network.
Is it possible that the storage network is getting too congested? Are there any logs or
indicators I can look for to find out if that is the case of the problem?I do have 10Gbps
network cards, but have only installed that onto 1 of the hosts. I still need to install
onto the other two hosts.
Anything else to look for?

Check '/var/log/messages' and 'journalctl' for the
affected host. Try to identify if you got a Network issue.
Next check gluster logs on the affected host (both bricks and fuse client).
Of course, you should also check the engine's logs.
This sounds like your gluster problem "escalated" and cause
the outage for the affected VMs.
Usually, when I have issues with a host - I just put it down to
maintenance with the checkmark to stop Gluster services. Once it completes , activate.

I don't know that for sure), as we had two VMs go completely unresponsive, but a 3rd
VM remained operational. For a while during the outage, I was able to log into the oVirt
admin web portal, and I noticed at least 1-2 of my hosts (I have 3 hosts) showed the
problematic VMs as being problematic inside of oVirt.
