Why not just add the anti-spam function to the implementation of Discover Versions?

It is not a specifically important function to log or just log the number of occurrences seen instead of one entry per request.

Adding yet another KMIP operation for this when there is an existing mechanism seems unnecessary.   The solution is really in log management, because this "ping" operation does not have to be supported by a server right?

So if its not supported or its KMIP 1.x a client still has to use Discover Versions so this operation does not really solve this problem.

I don't think this is necessary.

Hi,

 

It does (*), the proposed âpingâ (a) makes the operationâs intent clear and (b) is, at the serverâs discretion, not logged (thereby avoiding the âspamâ issue).

(*) We currently use âDiscover Versionsâ also, but have (a) received complaints about log spamming and (b) questions as to why it is being called all of the time

Hi Tim,

 

   I thought that Discover Versions operation required authentication.   We use this mechanism all the time to do a ping.
