xen-orchestra's Issues

Correct Uptime

We've got problem with uptime: when a VM start booting, VM uptime is 2 hours. Seems to have a clusterfuck with GMT+2 and UNIX time.

Dashboard needs indicator for vm tools

Dashboard needs some sort of graphic to indicate whether xen vm client tools is installed (and running) on the vm. Preferably with a on-mouse-over title containing the installed version.

Reference:
XAPI -> VM-Guest-Metrics -> PV_Drivers_version && PV_drivers_up_to_date
http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/6.0.0/1.0/en_gb/api/?c=VM_guest_metrics

Dom0 should appear first in a server memory bar.

Error in VM page

Error in VM page (host is not defined) if any VM is stopped on a host. In this case, a VM has no resident_on host. So, host is not defined.

Line 860 on xo.js, the bug is pretty obvious.

Display server name (and icon) when items are not in pool.

Add uptime in "hosts" view

So far, @todo is displayed.

Add console button to VM listing where stop/restart/pause are.

Add console button to VM listing where stop/restart/pause are.

Network overview

Get autofocus in add server popup

Get focus on host address after clicking on "Add a new server" button.

Make session persistent using cookie or local storage

Currently, the session is lost when refreshing the page, it should not.

XO-Web should create a token and store it in a cookie to automatically re-sign the user in.

Dom0 should not have a dedicated page.

There is no interrest in having a VM page for a Dom0.

Therefore the Dom0 should not be a link in a server memory bar.

Host memory usage updated

Host memory usage doesn't get updated when a vm is started / shutdown.

VM creation in xo

Allow VM creation in XO

Simplify/order/collapse Template view

Can be very long with multiple hosts. Find a way to reduce the display.

Add color labels when disk space is low

Display colored labels in storage view (or attached storage) when disk space is low.

Bower should be used for dependencies.

Currently, external JavaScript dependencies are managed by hand.

They should instead be handled by Bower.

Display Ram (in %) in server page

Display Ram in server page with a tooltip, in %

Indicate current VM operations / transitions

If a operation is currently running on a vm, it indicate that some sort of transition is happening to the vm and the VM should be marked by a yellow circle on the dashboard

Host console not implemented

Make vnc console work with Chrome

Currently console doesn't work with Chrome due to the fact that Chrome requires that the send websocket 'protocol' matches the protocol recieved back from server.

Currently noVNC protocol is hardcoded to ['binary', 'base64'] but xenserver replies with protocol 'chat'. In order to solve this noVNC must accept client code sets the protocols and xo must set the protocols accordingly.

Reference: novnc/include/rfb.js : connect()

novnc/noVNC#337

DIsplay dates using Moment.js

Display total ressources in home page

Display total of CPU's and RAM on home page (like 3 vCPUS on 2 CPU)

Fix preferred host in VM page.

Currently only the internal ref is displayed, it should be a link to the host labeled with its name.

Error for admin index

After logging is as the administrator, clicking the settings link to get to xo-web/public/admin/index returns a blank page

From the xo-web log file:

[2013-04-06 18:08:18] main.DEBUG: Declaration of Controller\Admin::dispatch() should be compatible with that of Controller\ControllerAbstract::dispatch() in /var/www/xo-web/lib/Controller/Admin.php:31 {"no":2048,"file":"/var/www/xo-web/lib/Controller/Admin.php","line":31} []
[2013-04-06 18:08:18] main.ERROR: Argument 2 passed to Controller\ControllerAbstract::dispatch() must be an array, none given, called in /var/www/xo-web/lib/Controller/Admin.php on line 39 and defined in /var/www/xo-web/lib/Controller/ControllerAbstract.php:49 {"no":4096,"file":"/var/www/xo-web/lib/Controller/ControllerAbstract.php","line":49} []

I am running 8959659

vm_metrics disappears when a vm is refreshed

If a VM is refreshed (paused/resumed etc.), the view is refreshed. That's good.

But the view contains only the VM model, and not the metrics. Because of that, we lose metrics display, like memory, ip etc.

Find a way to refresh vm AND vm_metrics together.

Wrong calulation of RAM amounts

My test of xo is monitoring a single host with 8GB ram + a pool concisting of 2 nodes with 16+32 GB ram - which I get to a total of 56 GB.

But the summary status in the top bar currently says "67.5GB RAM allocated of 111.8GB"

Clean-up actions

There are currently some actions/buttons/menuitems that doesn't make sense

• Remove from pool on a stand-alone host
• Migrate VM - for a vm running on stand-alone host

Redirect after VM delete

If a VM is deleted by clicking "delete" from the VM view page, xo should redirect to dashboard view when delete is completed

Storage display

Local storage or devices do not display an associated host.

Web interface extremely slow!

Every page I visit takes a few minutes to load. This makes the web interface completely unusable. I don't know if this is related but I only see status information. I would expect to see some options to start or stop a VM at least. No CPU or network utilization while it's waiting for the page the load. Plenty of free memory. Installed on a Ubuntu 12.04 VM. Was running on Virtualbox, now running on a xen instance.

Add server window is not working with "enter" key

If we hit "enter" key, it closes the modal window without doing anything. But a normal click on "save change" button works.

Empty IPs should be properly ignored in hosts/VMs lists.

Dashboard icon for VM operating system

It would be nice if dashboard had a small icon indicating wich OS the vm is running - with an on-mouse-over detail for OS details.

XAPI -> VM-guest-metrics -> os_version

Missing UI feedback in VM create dialog

The dialog for creating a new VM is missing ui feedback

• If a required field/setting is not filled out when pressing create said field should be hilighted
• If everything is ok and creation is started there should be some form of response indicating that creation is started + a new response when creation has completed.

error by clicking on a symbol in a action button

If you click on a symbol in a action button (pause or start or whatever symbol), there is an error. It works by clicking anywhere else in the button.

Use Less instead of SASS

It would be better to use Less instead of SASS for two reasons:

1. Less compiler is in JavaScript and uses Node.js while SASS is in Ruby which adds a dependency (which must be manually installed).
2. Bootstrap natively uses LESS.

In the memorybar of a host, show the control domain first.

New Bootstrap Wizard

http://www.panopta.com/2013/02/06/bootstrap-application-wizard/

Add addresses in "hosts" view

For that, we need to associate a PIF to each host, and then to display it.

Display IP addresses in vms view

Replace the @todo in Address row by real IP addresses. If XS tools are not installed, we can't have this information, so we'll display "unknown" at least.

Reduce data traffic

I was looking into the data stream loaded from backend via websocket

1 pool, 3 nodes, 18 vm's results in a frame of 1.2 MB
1.2 mb loaded every 5 seconds
maybe it could be split into some smaller frames,
Frame A) Only loads when client pages load (eg role/permission definitions)
Frame B) Low priority loads eg every 60 seconds (templates + iso files in ISO SR's)
Frame C) High priority loads (everything else)

Duplicate keystroke on web console

To reproduce this bug, you need to go on a VM console, then navigate on other category (Host, SR etc.) and go back to the VM console. Each time you go on it, it duplicates any key you type.

It's because console is not properly closed.

Workaround: refresh xo-web

Can't click on navbar when console is opened

Open a console, then you can't click on the navbar links.
Workaround: need to click on a VM tab first.

Display correctly XCP version

XCP version display in server page is not correct.

Host view

Column titles are duplicated on a per host basis, one table with relevant titles could be clearer.

new VM incorrectly appears in template list

When creating a VM, it appears in the template list but it shouldn't.

Workaround: restart xo-server.

Server memory bar should be logarithmic.

Add the ability to sort VMs/hosts/etc. lists by one of their columns.

Metrics for new VMs

When a new VM is created, it seems its metrics are wrong. Find why.
