Is the existing OpenStack dashboard project modular enough to support other applications? So far it seems to mostly be a "Nova dashboard", but it would be nice if each project didn't need its own application/dashboard. Instead each project could have a tab or section within the OpenStack dashboard. Glance could then be accessed through the nova section (via Nova's OpenStack API) or the glance section (direct glance API). You could add/remove application modules as needed in the configuration.
I'm already thinking of a dashboard for Burrow for monitoring queue sizes and other metrics, and it would be awesome if this could be built on top of openstack-dashboard. With this type of integration, we could provide group views (zone, cluster, etc) that had a summary and health report of each of the applications running in a group. -Eric On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 11:49:12AM -0400, Jay Pipes wrote: > Hi! > > I'm open to any and all suggestions around a Glance dashboard.
