[Engine-devel] RFE: Health Indication on UI

[Shireesh Anjal]

Hi,

Currently, oVirt is intelligent to understand the relationship 
hierarchies of various entities in the system, and even allows setting 
permissions based on this hierarchy. Can this information further be 
used to enhance the health monitoring of various entities in the system? 
Let me take an example.

Consider this hierarchy (gluster):

System -> Cluster -> Volume -> Brick

If one or more bricks of a volume are down, which indicates a problem, 
following entities should be overlaid with a warning symbol (say, a 
yellow exclamation mark)
  - Volume to which the brick(s) belong(s)
  - it's parent cluster
  - System

This helps in highlighting what parts of the system are affected by 
failures/problems at the lowest level entities, and gives a better idea 
of the overall health of the entire environment to the administrator.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Shireesh
