Created attachment 1061882 [details] engine log Description of problem: Trying to import a specific VM using VMware fails, though in the log I can only seem to find the following error (see [1]) The question is how can I use virt-v2v with debugging enabled through oVirt, and is there a way for oVirt to reflect the message got from virt-v2v Thread-7303::ERROR::2015-08-12 11:36:09,978::v2v::355::root::(_run) Job u'4234467d-6fb2-8d32-609e-4ee38e2c4a47' failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/vdsm/v2v.py", line 350, in _run self._import() File "/usr/share/vdsm/v2v.py", line 383, in _import self._proc.stderr.read(1024))) V2VProcessError: Job u'4234467d-6fb2-8d32-609e-4ee38e2c4a47' process failed exit-code: 1, stderr: curl -q --insecure --user '<hidden>' --head --silent --url 'https://10.35.4.144/folder/chichaDerezVM/chichaDerezVM-000001-flat.vmdk?dcPath=o virt&dsName=datastore1' HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2015 08:35:27 GMT Set-Cookie: vmware_soap_session="35967553b5d9a62d0df18bf6e5093a2081bb4416"; Path=/; HttpOnly; Secure; Connection: close Content-Type: text; charset=plain Content-Length: 0 virt-v2v: error: vcenter: URL not found: https://10.35.4.144/folder/chichaDerezVM/chichaDerezVM-000001-flat.vmdk?dcPath=ovirt&dsName=datastore1 If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to import a VM using virt-v2v 2. 3. Actual results: VM fail to be imported with an audit log message indicating "Failed to import Vm ...." Expected results: We should have a more informative message indicating also the reason why the VM could not be imported Additional info:

(In reply to Maor from comment #0) There is no need to enable debugging in virt-v2v for that, we get errors that happen in the middle of the conversion without debugging mode. Note that we parse the output of virt-v2v. So we get the description of errors from virt-v2v as text, therefore we decide not to show it in the audit log. So audit log only shows that the conversion failed and to see why you should look for it in the engine/vdsm log. I believe that if we ever change the API with virt-v2v to be based on codes for errors instead of getting it as text, then we will be able to map codes to presentable messages in audit logs.
According to c#2 there seems to be a reasonable way for getting these errors.
