Hi list,
Is it safe to edit /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf? I need to change
auth_unix_rw="sasl" because I want to allow libvirt-snmp to acess to VM
informations. Perhaps I need to create a user in sasl instead ?
Thanks a lot

Hi Kevin,
you should not change auth_unix_rw=sasl. I never used libvirt-snmp but it
is save to create another user like this:
saslpasswd2 -a libvirt <username>
I did that several times on my hosts.

Would you share your use case for libvirt-snmp?
The supposed danger is that whatever uses snmp may modify VM state under
the feet of oVirt and surprise it.

Hi Dan,
I want to monitor my oVirt infrastructure with Zabbix. I found a zabbix template , but it
needs to modifiy libirtd.conf to enable libvirt-snmp to access VM informations
(https://github.com/jensdepuydt/zabbix-ovirt).

If all you need is monitoring, libvirt-snmp should be happy to use a
read-only connection to libvirt, which is kept open by default.
If this is impossible, I suggest to file a bug on libvirt-snmp.
If you trust libvirt-snmp and zabbix not modify VM state, you can
replace "sasl" with "none", and restart libvirt, supervdsm and vdsm.
