Description Oved Ourfali 2013-12-10 08:23:40 UTC 
When users connect to the console, no event notification is available to specify that it happened.

Please add two types of events:
1. SetVmTicket event - when the user initiated the session
2. ClientIp changed event - when the user connects (this event requires having a guest agent installed on the guest)
Comment 1 Sandro Bonazzola 2014-01-13 13:57:07 UTC 
oVirt 3.4.0 alpha has been released including the fix for this issue.

ovirt-3.4 beta test-day results:

[see attachment 855242 [details]]

- 3 event notification types were added to the Event Notification dialog in the GUI:

   * VM console connected
   * VM console disconnected
   * VM console session initiated

- I checked all 3 event notification types above in the dialog, filled my e-mail address and configured / started the ovirt-engine-notifier.service on my ovirt-engine server. 

- I started two VMs - one with agent (F19) and one without agent (Blank). 

- connected to both VMs with SPICE and then disconnected.

- for each one of the two VMs, I got 3 e-mails of all 3 events, so it means that no event required a guest agent installed (it seems that the ClientIp is updated even without having an installed guest-agent on the VM). 

- I unchecked the 3 event notification types from the dialog, and connected/disconnected to the VM's console. I haven't received any notification e-mails on these events, as expected.

indeed, it's a console client's IP, not the one reported by GA, so it's always going to work fine unless connecting from the same IP

thanks for the confirmation, Michal.
