Hi Box,

thanks very much for putting this online for testing! Looks like there is
plenty of content and it could really be a very good basis for a control
tool.

Here are some first sight comments:

- Would it be possible to integrate this into Ganglia as a ganglia addon? This
  normally lives in the addons subdirectory and can be reached from the
  ganglia main page.

- It would be good to have the user authentication _before_ accessing the
  general IPMI control page (once!) instead of having to athenticate with
  every sensitive command. I was able to change the sensors limits without
  authenticating, this is a bit unsafe.

- Currently the display seems to be built out of a mix of commands and status
  information. I think it would make life easier if status info and commands
  would be clearly separated/sorted. For example:
  - the main display should show the status of the nodes (power on/off?, sel
  full? any thresholds exceeded?) and selection checkboxes
  - the select menu should contain the possible actions to be applied to the
  nodes, maybe sorted by: IPMI commands and configuration/monitoring actions.

- Is there any chance to get the sensors descriptions into the sensor
  threshold setting page? Certainly these can be different from node to node,
  so actually setting limits to sensors is something one would like to do in
  parallel for many machines at once... But this is not so important right
  now, the power on/off/reset/id functionality is more important right now.

That much for now. Thanks again for showing this and putting it to debate!

Best regards,
Erich
