I think the marines call this sort of thing, Task Condition and Standard. Not sure how useful it would be. > 3.

I wonder if this event tracking is relevant to metering. At the very least it could be relevant to an audit log / revision history. Curious if that's outside the scope of the CLI. For one, I believe it would be worthwhile to be able to integrate with the APIs to provide a recall of past events and results. -Matt _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
