closing low priority RFEs with minimum requests. please reopen if applicable with use-case attached.

while we are not intending to change the host monitoring mechanism, this flow should be fairly easy to automate with Ansible, and in addition manage the hosts lifecycle according to the status.

logic should be (using ovirt-hosts/facts Ansible module)
-use ovirt-ansible-facts - to collect all hosts based on a certain filter (status=up and datacenter=miami) - https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/ovirt_hosts_facts_module.html
-ping to host list
-create a list of responsive hosts
-change hosts status to active using ovirt-hosts module- https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/ovirt_hosts_module.html
