Closing old bugs. If this issue is still relevant/important in current version, please re-open the bug.

Comment 2 Federico Simoncelli 2013-01-24 16:56:14 UTC
This can be helpful for automation in general and to provide the same functionalities of the webadmin ui through rest api. Reopening.

Comment 3 Yaniv Lavi 2016-11-23 12:06:00 UTC
Is this really a gap in the API? Is this storage or virt?

Comment 4 Allon Mureinik 2016-11-23 12:44:31 UTC
The VM resource has a preview snapshot action (and has had it for quite a while now). Same goes for commit.

See, e.g., https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/rest-api-guide/chapter-5-services (look for 5.216. VM)
