             Summary: Redesign dashboard
                 Key: CHUKWA-746
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-746
             Project: Chukwa
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: User Interface
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0, 0.5.0, 0.4.0
         Environment: MacOSX, Linux
            Reporter: Eric Yang
            Assignee: Eric Yang


Chukwa dashboard can be customized with hundreds of parameters with GET query 
parameters.  However, most options are used once and never used again.  In the 
recent change to chart publish REST API call, visualization parameters are 
converted to be part of graph explorer widget.  The charts are static after 
they are published.  This helps to completely remove the query parameter 
approach of customizing widgets.  A widget can be described as easy as a GET 
URL.  This helps us to reduce from the hundred of thousands lines dashboard 
javascript to something that can accomplish with few lines of javascript to 
provide the dashboard.  

The new dashboard will provide better navigation to include Search, and Zoom 
out of a widget.

Search is useful to find widgets and also find any texture information that is 
indexed.

Zoom out provide a way to jump from a summary dashboard to task oriented UI.

Navigation menu provide the following features initially:
Search - Auto completed search to find widgets or indexed logs
User Activities - Enable user to find user applications and job monitoring
System Activities - Display System activities and usage
Graph Explorer - Enable editoral task of generating a chart from HBase data
