Support for oVirt virtualtzation.

[ThomasADavis]

I am working on getting oVirt to work like the ProxMox/ESX integration in the current git master, and almost done with it.

However, there is no PHP SDK for ovirt; there is however one for python, and I've created an equivalent poller script in python - is this acceptable to have just the poller script in python for the cron job? Everything else is in PHP.

Let me know what you would like.

Yes, that's fine to use Python for a support script (which is what I'd call the poller script). Scott

What is the poller doing exactly? If it's just hitting an API that seems like something that can be written in PHP quickly enough. On May 2, 2017 6:00 AM, Scott Milliken <[email protected]> wrote: Yes, that's fine to use Python for a support script (which is what I'd call the poller script). Scott

It's likely just creating the API key for each request. That's about the only thing you really need the support libraries for. Scott On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 6:09 AM, Wilbur Longwisch <[email protected]> wrote:

Looking over their documentation it looks like it would be easy enough to convert whatever that python script is doing to straight api calls.

I'm not against a helper script I am against adding additional language requirements that start to muddy the waters if it isn't necessary.

[wilpig]

And a simple search for ovirt php api turned up this... https://github.com/layer7be/ovirt-php I mean come on... yes it says it requires php5.4 but without looking I am betting it is going to be more of the deferenced arrays being the crutch.

[ThomasADavis]

That PHP supports ovirt3x, and ovirt4x changed the rest API (and the SDK..)

I just do not have the time to convert/rewrite parts of their API into PHP; already have a python script that grabs this information, so it's just a matter of bolting on the mysql part.

For the first cut, start with the python script, then convert as time permits convert to PHP.
