Re: [RFC] Metrics views for CloudStack UI

[Nux!]

Marcus,

Thanks for the explanation.
In my setup I chose to completely ignore this Ghz thing which may turn up to be 
a mistake.
I am using the same number for Mhz as for the # of CPU cores, e.g.
CPU (in MHz)1 MHz

I was just concerned with the CPU weight thingy, but this should work just as 
well.

Re: [RFC] Metrics views for CloudStack UI

[Marcus]

Hi Nux,
   The thing about ghz is that it is the unit of capacity for CPU, VMs are
allocated to hosts according to the number of "cycles" it has.  As a
customer, I agree, core count is more important. As an admin, if you have a
single host in a cluster that is using much more CPU than the others and
want to try to balance, the ghz number for the VM can tell you 1) which VMs
on a host are the 'biggest' when cgroup throttling kicks in, that is, how
much of the host CPU share a VM will get, and 2) if that VM will fit on
another host - the old UI helps you know which hosts don't have capacity
for a migration, but it doesn't tell you how full each host is and doesn't
give you this data to know how full you'll make a host if you migrate.

Many people will want these metrics to go into a time series system and
use something like the graphite publisher instead, as that will give better
visibility into what's going on over time, but this seems like a good
out-of-the-box solution to expose the data we already have buried in the UI.

Re: [RFC] Metrics views for CloudStack UI

[Nux!]

Since we're still at it, does the current metrics view show total virtual core 
count per host (perhaps vs real core count)?
Is this something we could have?

Re: [RFC] Metrics views for CloudStack UI

Hi Stephan,

Domain admins are not shown infrastructure tab, so while they may still access 
metrics view for instances and volumes, they won't be able to see metrics for 
rest of the resources (zones, clusters, hosts and storage pool). I'll discuss 
and incorporate changes to allow showing volume and instances metrics.

Regards.

This looks really great!
You've added the metrics view at the Infrastructure tab. This is nice
for the platform ops.
I assume the very same metrics would also be a benefit for domain-admins
(say: customers). I'ld suggest to add this view somewhere below the
Instances tab.

cheers,

Re: [RFC] Metrics views for CloudStack UI

[Rohit Yadav]

Hi Lucian,

- We are showing number of cores on the instances metrics view
- We can increase the width of the container/list-view but the UI assumes 
1024px to be the width and with this assumption several widgets/css rules are 
put in place, so it's a challenge to get it right without breaking seen/unseen 
widgets and views. For such reasons, the columns are made collapsible to hide a 
group of columns in case you don't want to use horizontal scrolling and widths 
of columns made shorter to pack more information (increase the information 
density). The other issue is all the widgets you see are created by JS code 
(directly using DOM manupulations) so it's hard to reason about responsive 
widgets (many have fixed widths, or absolute positions based on where the 
container starts etc). I can try if we can somehow implement a responsive 
design/container.

Regards.

Re: [RFC] Metrics views for CloudStack UI

[Stephan Seitz]

This looks really great!
You've added the metrics view at the Infrastructure tab. This is nice
for the platform ops.
I assume the very same metrics would also be a benefit for domain-admins
(say: customers). I'ld suggest to add this view somewhere below the
Instances tab.

cheers,

Re: [RFC] Metrics views for CloudStack UI

Great work Rohit,

What I'd like to see:
- vCPU list/count for instance metrics (GHz is meaningless to me)
- can we make the whole thing wider so we can fit more columns there without 
that ugly horizontal scroll bar? So much wasted screen space

Re: [RFC] Metrics views for CloudStack UI

[cs user]

Hi Rohit,

This looks fantastic to me. It's a very much needed addition to the UI.
Look forward to trying it out at some point in the future :-)

Thanks!
