Hi all!

We try to use one gate for standalone vms without one flow, but during execution `onegate vm show [VMID]` or any other `onegate command` we catch error: `ERROR: Empty or invalid SERVICE_ID`.  
The question is can we use one gate without oneflow services or it’s necessary? it’s not completely clear from the documentation

Please help advice!

We use opennebula 5.6

Hello @Leonid

You don’t need oneflow if you only wants to get vm information. But remember to start onegate server with the command `onegate-server start`. Also remember to change the ONEGATE\_ENDPOINT in the oned.conf and in the VM you need to add onegate token (it can be done through Sunstone)

Hi, ahuertas!

Thanks for reply

I started opennebula-gate.service on my master node, edited the oned.conf and in contex cdrom I have token.txt file, but I can get only `onegate vm show` if I trying to use vmid as an argument I get an error.  
I’m trying to found the way to reboot vm, if it catches kernel panic or BSOD. Is there any opportunity to do that with opennebula ?

Hello @Leonid

Yes, you can only use `onegate vm show` without ID, because the ID is the ID of the service, not the VM. I think there is no way to do that, you can take a look at VM hooks, but I think they won’t help you in that case.
