Fixed In Version: rhv-4.4.0-29
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
With this enhancement, an EVENT_ID is logged when a virtual machine's guest operating system reboots. External systems such as Cloudforms and Manage IQ rely on the EVENT_ID log messages to keep track of the virtual machine's state.

Description Koutuk Shukla 2019-05-15 15:55:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

No EVENT_ID is generated in /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log when VM is rebooted from OS level itself.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Virtualization 4.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Reboot the VM from OS level itself
2. Check /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log for reboot messages for VM.

Actual results:
Only VM rebooting messages are logged, but no EVENT_ID generated.

Expected results:

EVENT_ID should be logged. So that systems like Cloudforms/ManageIQ can read the  event log via rhvm rest api and get notified if the VM is rebooted.

Additional info:

-- Following messages are logged in /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log

Comment 1 Ryan Barry 2019-05-16 00:17:09 UTC 
Reboots are expected to be initiated from RHVM or the API.

For guest-level uptime monitoring, why not use guest agent data to track it?
Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2019-05-16 06:24:02 UTC 
it's detected properly as per the engine.log message, just the audit log event is not fired. Should be as simple as reusing the  AuditLogType.USER_REBOOT_VM when Up->RebootInProgress

Comment 8 Sigbjorn Customer 2020-02-24 11:34:38 UTC 
Given that the event is already picked up by the manager, and that all that needs to be done to fix this issue is to add the existing audit log type AuditLogType.USER_REBOOT_VM to this event. Why is this request taking so long time to implement?
