Hi,
currently all events are stored in the table audit_log
which all gets saved when you use the engine-backup
shell script.
the event log is full of these login lines (engine 3.3.2):
25652 fdfc627c-d875-11e0-90f0-83df133b58cc admin@internal
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N \N \N \N \N
2014-01-20
06:39:17.222+01 USER_VDC_LOGIN 30 0 User admin@internal
logged in. f \N \N
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N \N \N
\N 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N oVirt -1 30
f \N
this makes the log and db grow very large when you use the REST-API
to query ovirt for various data.
Is this necessary for a working restore?
It would be cool if we could tweak the engine-backup
tool to just dump necessary tables so you don't have
to restore events from the past no one is interested
in.
How does ovirt react, if I do not restore the content of the audit_log
table?
If this works (restore without audit_log) I would prefer to have
this code upstream in ovirt git so I don't have to maintain
my own backupscript.
Would it be possible to extend the existing backupscript
with a switch to not backup logs?
Currently it's just "all" or "just db".
I also recall that there shouldn't occur multiple login events any
more since ovirt 3.3. but it still seems to be the case.
I also do not understand how you would manage a stored authentication
via REST as REST is stateless.
I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts on this topic.
