I'm pleased to announce initial version of new oVirt plugin for
Cockpit, which is recently a proposed feature for oVirt 4.0.
The oVirt Wiki Feature can be found at [3].
Sources and README file can be found on the github [1].
Up-to-date issue list is at [2] (includes planed enhancements)
Please refer the README file for install instructions, so far tested on Centos 7
(minimal).
The plugin will be distributed as an rpm in the future and is meant as an optional add-on
to oVirt.
Main focus is on
- troubleshooting when accessibility/functionality of webadmin is limited
- easy-to-use tool for VM-centric host monitoring/administration
- potential integration point with oVirt on UI level
- easy to use, so for small setups the preferred choice with an option to
"upgrade" to full oVirt later
Isn't it something that Kimchi [1] was supposed to be? :) It evolved to
a standalone tool however with no clear path from Kimchi to oVirt.

The plugin or its parts can be used as standalone same as embedded
into other UIs, like drill-down from webadmin or ManageIQ for more details or
fine-tuning.
The plugin has dependency on VDSM.
Please note, since there was a VDSM patch needed, recent master is required (see README
in the source).
Dependency on oVirt's engine is optional - when accessible then additional plugin
functionality is available.
Please note, the plugin is in early development phase showing basic concept.
