Hi all,
I'd propose a new feature to the movirt: a dashboard. It is highly inspired by the
dashboard feature proposed to the oVirt 4.0 [1].
The specific use case I'd like to solve with it is this:
- The admin arrives to the office at the morning, puts his tablet/phone to the charger and
opens moVirt's dashboard
- It will be showing the current health of the whole datacenter, but since it is on a
tablet/phone it does not occupy his primary screen so he can freely do his work
(considering that oVirt administration is not his only job)
- It will play well with the current events/triggers features of moVirt (e.g. if some
VM/host is over-utilized, down or..., the phone will start blinking grabbing the attention
of the admin)
The specific proposal is this:
- add a new tab to moVirt which will be opened as the first tab (instead of the current
VMs tab)
- as the first thing to add is the Utilization section of the [1] without the charts
(since we don't have historical data) - please see the attached picture
- this should be the first increment, when merged, we can add the top N most utilized VMs
and top N utilized hosts (showing only on screens where actually fit in - e.g. not phone
but tablet)
- as a last step, we could add a stream of events
Any comments?
Thanx,
Tomas
