Public bug reported: The vCPUs usage chart is confusing because it can end up with values like "Used 5 of 4".
(see e.g. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/155236888/Nova_bug_1202965.png which was posted on bug 1202965) This may be improved in Nova as part of bug 1202965 but I think if it is possible we should try to make the meaning clearer in Horizon. Chatting with a Nova developer and based on the discussion on that other bug as well, the actual meaning is: "This hypervisor has 4 cores and is running VMs with a total of 5 vCPUs." - which is a bit too long for the chart legend itself. I'd like to suggest adding a star (*) after the small chart legend and putting this full sentence as a legend below the chart series. It may not be the best UI but hopefully it will help with reducing confusion - I'm including the UX tag on this so UX folks can hopefully add their input as well. https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/master/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/admin/hypervisors/templates/hypervisors/index.html ** Affects: horizon Importance: Low Status: New ** Tags: ux -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
