OK, after some more discussions with Michal about the idea of having some
history data in our DB it starts to look like a really good idea.
What about this solution:
Let's store the last N results of VDSM poll in the vm_dynamic table instead
of the last one only
(where the N would be configured in vdc_options and by default something like
10).
Let's send this to client so the client will be able to draw a nice chart out
of all the values which are available.
It would have this advantages:
Technical:
- no lost data caused by slower polling of engine by FE than is the polling
of the VDSM by engine
- consequently no need to do any interpolations because the data are already
averaged by VDSM and I have no "holes" in between
- also no problems to "ignore" updates caused by faster refresh of engine by
FE than the poll of VDSM by engine
UX:
- after the first load of the VM tab the data shown in this tab would already
be useful - no need to wait couple of refresh cycles until I get enough poll
results
- I can freely jump from tab to tab without the fear to loose all precious
data I have in this tab collected
Disadvantage is that we would have to store a bit more data on the server
(but not much more since we would remember only couple of polls) and a bit
more data transferred to client.
What do you guys think?
+1 on this suggestion, I like it a lot.
I am concerned about one thing that you mentioned yesterday (which I don't think
is relevant anymore with this new suggestion, but just in case):
"""
== From the UX perspective the behavior ==
- each time the FE will receive new data and this data are different from the old ones,
visualize it in the chart
It means if you will keep pressing the refresh button but the data will not change, no
new data will be visualized (an exception will be the 0 usage)
"""
IIUC, it means that if the CPU is constantly 5% and it spikes to 100% once an hour,
we will see a graph of 5%-100%-5%-100% (over a *long* period of time though), which
may seem like the VM is spiking half of its time, which is misleading.
But with the new approach of persisting the "historic" info in the DB, this will
not be the case anymore, correct?
