Created attachment 1202781 [details] engine log Description of problem: Provide information in the logs about who and why the VM was migrated automatically by the system. We facing an issue that happens quite a lot in our automation runs in which the VM is being migrated automatically by the system without any reasonable or visible reason. In the logs there is no information about who and why the migration started. We don't have any special migration policy in our clusters, everything is default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.0.4.3-0.1.el7ev
Even in debug log? (I agree it should not be in debug level, btw).
Even in debug mode.

We are missing the migration reason and that should be added. The specific places we use non-user migration when: - Load balancing - VM affinity enforcing - Host Maintenance, which triggers migration internally A special case where engine doesn't trigger the migration is the when HE agent is migrating the VM when the agent is put to local maintenance. The engine does have an API to log Events but we don't use the engine API from the hosts for security reasons (to avoid persisting the password on the disk). So this case will be out of the scope of this fix for now. Code-wise note: I would add an Optional<MigrationReason> on the migration parameters so the API client doesn't have to do extra work after firing the migration. If its there it will be logged prior to contacting VDSM.
The fix for this issue should be included in oVirt 4.1.0 beta 1 released on December 1st. If not included please move back to modified.
