Description nicolas 2016-03-14 14:36:12 UTC
It would be very useful to us if we could ignore certain events so they don't show up in the list. In our case, we have a script that each 5 minutes connects to oVirt via Python-SDK, extract some relevant data for our management, send them to an external graph service and then closes connection. This results in a storm of the following events in the list:

  User user@domain logged in.
  User user@domain logged out.

Actually I don't know if this feature could be useful for some other needs, as vast majority of events in oVirt are relevant - but maybe implementing this could result being useful for more users?

The feature could have several ways to work (just a few ideas):
1. Ignore an entire event type
2. Ignore a concrete message (maybe based on patterns...)

I actually opened this BZ because we use lots of Python-SDK scripts that interoperate with oVirt to do some tasks, and each time a script was run, a login/logout event was generated, which made lots of noise.

I'm not sure what behavior changed (either oVirt 4.1 or Python-SDK4), but these events are not generated anymore when these scripts are run, so I don't feel this feature request is useful for me anymore.

So it's up to you to decide if you consider this useful for the future of oVirt, if not, you can close it AFAIC.

Closing for the time being.
