/config/capabilities was requested twice for the templates tab: one
request to identify if qemu has spice support and other one to identify
if the qemu has ISO streaming support.
Those requests were made right before using the information, causing a
delay on UI until get the server response.
For example, for distant servers, while creating a new template the
"Remote ISO" option was disabled at the first time and after some time it was
enabled.
The same behavior was identified while editing a template, as the graphics
options blinked to add the spice on it.
To fix it, request /config/capabilities when loading the templates tab to have
this information prior to edit or create a new template.

I like the idea to run "kimchi.getCapabilities" only once and use its
results later. Those values are very unlikely to change unless there is
some server upgrade.
But as far as I understand, there is no syncing strategy to make sure
the new variable "kimchi.capabilities" will only be read when the
function "kimchi.getCapabilities" has been executed successfully. This
may lead to an execution error (i.e. "kimchi.capabilities" may still be
undefined) or inconsistent values (e.g the host may have QEMU stream
capability but if the function "kimchi.getCapabilities" hasn't finished
executing yet, "kimchi.capabilities.qemu_stream" might still have its
default value - not the actual one).
Also, if the approach is to run "kimchi.getCapabilities" once and then
cache its results, we might as well use those cached values elsewhere in
Kimchi. The tab "Host" will still execute that function.

Because that we can not do the same there.
For example, host tab checks for sosreport tool and if user installs it
later it does not trigger a kimchi restart so we always need to care

Ops... it is not true! =$
I need to move doListTemplates() in the .done() block for
kimchi.getCapabilities()
+ kimchi.getCapabilities(function(result) {
+ kimchi.capabilities = result;
+ }, function() {
+ kimchi.capabilities = {};
+ }, function() {

That kind of request is an asynchronous call. The
first function
parameter will only be executed when the request finishes successfully.
The execution flow doesn't stop there.

Does a QEMU package update actually trigger Kimchi to restart?? And why
is it required? I'd say the VMs should be restarted when QEMU is
updated, not Kimchi.
What I mean is that this new capabilities cache should be able to work
fine for both Host and Templates tabs (and wherever it's used), if the
host server doesn't change. If it does, the sysadmin will probably
restart the entire host. We are reading the same bucket of information
from the host and caching it, but some parts are not using it and
they're querying the host for the same thing again. All those values are
just as sensitive to system updates. If we're caching host features
information, we should cache it consistently and not for half of the
application.
Also, this cache happens on the client side (JavaScript), not on the
server side. So even if the sysadmin doesn't restart the server after an
update (which should be the recommended action anyway), end users who
login after the system update will read the newer capabilities values
seamlessly because their browsers will create a new request.

Does a QEMU package update actually trigger Kimchi to restart?? And
why is it required? I'd say the VMs should be restarted when QEMU is

Kimchi uses libvirt, right? Which means Kimchi has a connection to
libvirt and this one to qemu.
When updating qemu or libvirt the user must restart kimchi to it
establish a new connection pointing to the new code.
Does that make sense?
What about the sosreport? Should user restart kimchi to be able to use
it in Kimchi?

This is not true.
The qemu capabilities is also cached on backend. Check
src/kimchi/model/config.py
So even if the sysadmin doesn't restart the server after an
update
(which should be the recommended action anyway), end users who login
after the system update will read the newer capabilities values
seamlessly because their browsers will create a new request.

Got your point.
I was treating backend and frontend as the same in my mind.
Check v3.

Doesn't the backend already do that by caching the values?

All requests are time consuming. Even if there is no logic involved in
it on backend. Specially for long distant server/client.
Please, check v3.
