[ovirt-devel] oVirt messages from engine to vdsm

[Martin Sivak]

Hi,

I think what you are looking for is mostly this:
https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/blob/master/lib/vdsm/api/vdsm-api.yml

The best way to see what the traffic is is to disable SSL. The
postgres database is installed and accessible using the postgres user
(the engine user is not allowed to access it directly).

You might also be interested in the vdsm fake project we use as node
simulator. Its readme will tell you exactly how to do this:
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-vdsmfake

I wrote an article some time ago that explained how to setup a
development environment without real hosts:
https://www.ovirt.org/blog/2016/11/testing-ovirt-changes-without-cluster/

Might I ask what you goal is?

Best regards
