I don’t think it’s a pragmatic solution, let me explain — In the past few months, apart from ACS development I’ve been heavily involved in working and supporting large production grade clouds and my ops experience is that there are usually couple of sysadmins (usually working in shifts) and we cannot really rely on the assumption that events are only cleared by one operator or that there is culture of knowledge sharing of all the actions. If one of the sysadmins (during their shift) removes some events, others won’t know. The events feature is perhaps good for event-driven consumption such as via AMQP/RabbitMQ and automated monitoring systems but perhaps not best suited for humans all the time (yet). The other use case is of a large org who are consumer of a (rented) CloudStack cloud among other tenants, the whole team of an org shares the account but has various users in it. For them it can be useful to list vms and other resources by userid within their account. Since, they may not be admin (renting cloud?) the pragmatic solution would be to have such metadata somewhere easily slice-able and dice-able using APIs.
