Why do I see one "Logged in" event in RHEV-M for each API call even when requesting authenticated (persistent) sessions?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When running a Python script performing multiple API calls one User <username> logged in. event is created for each API call.

  • In scripts that execute a high amount of API calls that results in a vast amount of User <username> logged in. events created.

  • This happens despite requesting authenticated (persistent) sessions to be used as described in section 2.3. Authentication Sessions of the RHEV 3.3 Developer Guide :

    api = API(url="https://rhevm.example.com", 
        username="user@example.com", 
        password="password",
        ca_file="ca.crt",
        persistent_auth=True)

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.3 and later.
