*** Bug 921073 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Yair Zaslavsky 2013-03-17 17:32:27 UTC

I suggested that <KNOWN> will be renamed to "unknown user to engine" or "non interactive user".


Dan, please advise.

Comment 3 Dan Yasny 2013-03-18 05:54:31 UTC

what kind of actions are such users allowed to take?

Comment 4 Yair Zaslavsky 2013-03-18 11:54:24 UTC

Dan - we encountered the issue during host registration.
However, this may occur at future cases as well.

Comment 5 Dan Yasny 2013-03-18 12:08:16 UTC

So we need to define a "system" user or something like that? Just trying to understand what actions are logged under <UNKNOWN>.

Can this be something done by an actual user, or are these actions performed by internal processes that belong to no real user?


//This is why reproduction steps are always needed in every BZ!

Comment 6 Yair Zaslavsky 2013-03-18 12:33:48 UTC

Dan, there are at least two sources in our flows for such events -
a. schedulers that initiate commands - I guess for this "system" can be fine
b. internal queries that initiate commands - register servlet uses an internal queryto avoid the need to login.

Comment 7 Dan Yasny 2013-03-18 14:29:30 UTC

Hmm, ok, I am looking at the event log, and I don't see too many events that even mention a user. Can we simply log things that got started without user intervention, and that aren't related to a user session, without a user mentioned at all?

Example (SPm failover):
Storage Pool Manager runs on Host paice (Address: paice.demo.lab.tlv.redhat.com).

No mention of any user starting the SPM on this host, so no need to mention a user at all

Does this make sense, or am I still missing something?
