[moVirt] dashboard feature proposal in moVirt

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
