Its a common use that, fetching Data center, hypervisors and VMs status in a ovirt Dc periodically.. Instead of connecting to OVirt GUI ( web admin portal) and seeing its status, you can automate this task via a python script. I wrote a program to just fetch the name & its status in a DC using python sdk.
Please download the program from github as below indentation is broken..
# Author: Humble Chirammal
# This program can be used to list datacenters, hypervisors, vms in an ovirt Dc , #with its status..
# Please make sure you are changing below parameters in api :
#url =”Your ovirt engine api url” #username =”user to access the api” #password =”password of above user” #ca_file =”location of ca cert file”
import sys from ovirtsdk.api import API from ovirtsdk.xml import params from threading import Thread import time import logging
#Configure
APIURL=”https://myrhevm.humblec.com/api” APIUSER=”admin@internal” APIPASS=”somepassword” CAFILE=”/root/ca.crt” LOGFILENAME=”/tmp/list_setup.log”
s1= ‘.’ objs=[“datacenters”, “hosts”, “vms”]
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format=’%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s’, filename=LOGFILENAME, filemode=’w’)
def getObjInfo (obje, objlist): greet = s1 * 15 print ‘\n %s %s %s \n’ % (greet,obje, greet) for obj in objlist: print ‘ %30s : %30s : %30s ‘ % ((obj.name).upper(), (obj.status.state).upper(),obj.get_id()) logging.info (‘%13s- : %30s : %30s : %30s’ % (obje, (obj.name).upper(), (obj.status.state).upper(), obj.get_id()))
if __name__ == “__main__”: try: api = API(url=APIURL, username=APIUSER, password=APIPASS, ca_file=CAFILE) try: print ‘ \n I am logging in %s \n’ % LOGFILENAME
for ob in objs: if ob==”datacenters”: getObjInfo(ob, api.datacenters.list()) if ob==”hosts”: getObjInfo(ob, api.hosts.list()) if ob==”vms”: getObjInfo(ob, api.vms.list())
except Exception as e: logging.debug(‘Error:\n%s’ % str(e))
api.disconnect()
except Exception as ex: logging.debug(‘Unexpected error: %s’ % ex)
The output will look like this:
[root@humbles-lap ~]# python objlist.py
I am logging in /tmp/list_setup.log

The log file will have contents similar to:
