Hi all, Just a quick question. Is it possible to set a webhook on the removal and creation of a new vm? So we can send to foreman a delete action when the VM is deleted... Kind regards, Koen

From what I saw this is the relevant event.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Vojtech Szocs" <vszocs(a)redhat.com&gt; Sent: Friday, October 31, 2014 11:51:53 AM Hi, if I get this correctly, you'd like to be notified when certain event happens (VM created/deleted/etc.) and react upon that. I see multiple possible approaches here: 0, improve Engine extension API (refer to Alon Bar-Lev for details) - if extensions can be packaged as JARs and these JARs could include web fragments [1] it would mean the possibility to deploy custom servlets onto existing Engine instance (in context of webapp that processes extensions) - your custom Java servlet could query REST interface (or be notified once something happens, but AFAIK we don't have that implemented yet) and do whatever logic is needed - once I asked Alon about ^^ but never got response from him - IMHO this would be a nice way to deploy custom Java code on Engine [1] https://blogs.oracle.com/swchan/entry/servlet_3_0_web_fragment 1, improve UI plugin API - add "VirtualMachineDataLoaded" event fired upon each refresh of VM data in UI table (generalization -> "{Entity}DataLoaded") - this is similar to existing "{Entity}SelectionChange" events

2, write UI plugin that uses oVirtJS to periodically check VM events

The disadvantage of 1, and 2, is that WebAdmin GUI must be open. In any case, if you'd like to explore the possibility of doing this via UI plugin, I'm here to help.

You are referring to the "webapp side", but this is not enough. We have also the engine side which has to become more pluggable. In addition, we will probably need to handle all kinds of issues that rise from our singletons at engine - class loading might be an issue here, no? You don't want the "X-ton" (doubleton, tripleton, etc..) phenomena in your setup - you don't want for example X instances of AsyncTaskManager. I think that in general we should strive to turn engine into way more pluggable/modular than it is now, imagine an "engine microkernel" (for those of you who did not hear the term microkernel, I am referring you to jboss architecture) - we should have a "thin microkernel" and the rest of the code should be pluggable, using the extension API (and perhaps web fragments as well).

This can/should be done through the notification service, currently it supports email & snmp traps ... but it could be extended (very easily)
