[Users] Community feedback on the new UI-plugin Framework

[Vojtech Szocs]

Hi Adrian,

> 5. Everything should be a plugin.

I see your point, we can consider this later on, for now there are some gaps we need to close with API/infrastructure.

> Maybe an standard way of saving plugin logs through standard ovirt-engine logs and specific plugin logs.

You mean API for plugins to log messages so that WebAdmin can collect/send them to Engine?

(Client-side logging in WebAdmin is disabled in production mode, in long-term we'll implement support for collecting client-side logs via HTML5 local storage, and sending them to Engine so that they can be stored in JBoss log directory.)

Wiki page: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins
Discussion page: http://www.ovirt.org/Talk:Features/UIPlugins

You can also request new features on engine-devel mailing list (I highly recommend subscribing to that list, since all important UI Plugins updates take place on that list).

Regards,
Vojtech

Was there finally any video recorded of this workshop?

5. Everything should be a plugin.

One trend among platform design is that everything should be a plugin.
I'm not sure how it will go with oVirt but the idea is that:

* Hosts tab
* Virtual machines tab
* GlusterFS volumes tab
* Disks tab

are each one of them a plugin.

You should remark that as a side-effect you win two things:
  * People can check how standard plugins (you could make them not-uninstallable and not-being-able-to-disable) to learn how to build their own plugins
  * Your plugin system would be better because it would need to be improved to support all the current default plugins capabilities

6. Plugin logs
Maybe an standard way of saving plugin logs through standard ovirt-engine logs and specific plugin logs.

7. Wiki Page
Is there any wiki page about this UI-plugin framework so that I can add a New ideas or new features requests page link there and add these same ideas?

I think that's all.

I will, for sure, take a look at them.
