● Hawkular provider/endpoint connection enhancements:
○ Added SSL support when connecting to hawkular endpoint
○ Default security protocol is non ssl
○ Security protocol field moved to be before port, to autofill the
default port automatically (for all the providers)
● Allow operations only on mutable servers (for example, not in a
container)
● Added more tests
● Fixed navigation issues in entities pages
● Use hawkular_metric_id from the inventory instead of building a
metric id. (because Metric id format is configurable)

30. Amazon and Ansible
Map AWS tags to MIQ tags during refresh
Dynamic Cloud Volume modifications
Mostly “Fine” fixes
Much more in UI and Automate/Control

Service instance (Instead of delete)
(PR manageiq-content #76)
○ Aligns with UI changes to display retired service in separate node
○ Aligns with other resources, like VMs
○ Easily modified (reverted) by overriding the Automate retirement
state-machine class or instance

35. Automate

Service Models
● Automate modeling for Ansible Tower Events
○ / ManageIQ / System / Event / EmsEvent / AnsibleTower
● CloudVolume - New methods exposed
○ attach_volume / detach_volume
● VMware add_disk method - Allow passing additional
options
○ Supported options: :thin_provisioned, :dependent, :persistent
Example:
vm.add_disk("[#{vm.storage_name}]", size * 1024, :thin_provisioned => true)

36. Automate
(Greg McCullough)
Provisioning
● Cloud-Init customization template
○ New example template that sets host name, root
password and IP address in oVirt.
Fix

on Action "Prevent current event from proceeding"

37. Automate
(Greg McCullough)
Ansible Integration

38. Automate
(Madhu Kanoor)
Reference objects in VMDB using partial hrefs (slugs).
Combines class name and id into a single value. e.g.
providers/10
- Extra vars for ansible can contain partial hrefs
- Dynamic Dialogs can use slugs as identifiers instead of
ids
- Service Model method
- href_slug
Example: vm.href_slug # => "vms/3539"
