[Engine-devel] attn ui devs: why do we use inputs for labels?
by Greg Sheremeta 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hi fellow UI developers, Can someone explain why we are using "input type=text" fields to render labels? (see screenshot[1]) This seems like bad practice for a few reasons: * it's not semantic HTML * inputs do not have variable sizing like text. They cannot shrink down to the size of the text, which makes positioning difficult. * common browser extensions such as LastPass can be confused (see screenshot[1] -- lastpass sees these labels for the text fields they are, and attempts to help the user fill them in -- that's what those gray asterisks are. Very confusing.) I'd like to pursue correcting this, if possible. Thanks, Greg [1] http://i.imgur.com/AweOhJe.png Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc.

[Engine-devel] oVirt Engine 3.2 ReST API
by Vikas Kokare 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

As per the API documentation, the host cluster element "data_center id=" is both required at creation(exclamation in a triangle) as well as non-updatable(lock sign). Is it right to consider that, not only is this a required element, but it can't be changed and deleting(disassociation) is out of question? We have a RHEVM environment, where one such host cluster was created initially being associated to a data center. Later someone changed something, that resulted in the specific host cluster having no "data_center" element on it. Could it be that the association was deleted, or that the data_center itself was deleted, but the system didn't honor referential integrity, that it was being referred by other objects?

[Engine-devel] Supposed to add per CPU usage related infomation into engine core and vdsm

We need per NUMA node CPU usage or per CPU usage related information on eng= ine core. This information will be used for VM who have NUMA aware information and fi= nd the best Host to run it on with best performance. Approach 1: 1. Sample data in vdsm for each CPU stats. (sys, usr, iowait, idle) 2. Calculate the each CPU usage information. (%sys, %usr, %iowait, %id= le) 3. Transport the usage data to engine core. 4. Engine core merge per NUMA node CPU usage.
