Dear all,
having worked with oVirt in the past there are some features that I am really
missing in PVE in my daily work:
a) a tabular overview over all virtual machines. This should/might also include
some performance data and the description. See the attached partial screenshot
from oVirt, where this is implemented quite nicely. This is /not/ to replace
proper monitoring but to provide a quick overview over the PVE-based
intrastructure
Isn't this what Datacenter -> Search could be? Note that the list drops any
attachments.
Partially. It is still missing some data that I really like in the
oVirt overview (e.g. comments/descriptions, IP and the thumbnailed
timelines(!) for CPU, memory and network ecc.)
I have uploaded the screenshot to https://pasteboard.co/J9B4cEc.png.
a1) the possibility to provide the virtual machines and containers with a
short, one-line description
Why not use the VM/CT notes? Editable over VM/CT -> Summary panel?
We do use these notes heavily, but unfortunately they don't seem to be
searchable/usable for filtering. It would be nice to have a
"Description" which would be a one-liner, like the description for the
HA resources.
b) the possibility to use keywords from the Notes field or the description (see a1 above)
in the search box. Our hosts are all named <unit>-vm<vm_number> which forces
us to keep a separate list for the mapping of services to hostnames
Dominik has done some patches adding "tags", which then would be searchable.
Some backend support is there, but we had some discussion about how to integrate
them in the frontend. I think this will be picked up soonish and should provide
what you seek in b) maybe also a1..
yes, such tags would come in very handy and could partially replace the
description if they can be used for filtering.
Frank
cheers,
Thomas
