I think your proposal looks way better than the current oVirt interface and I think it would definitively be an improvement. Though I think the oVirt admin interface still looks somewhat bloated. I always thought that it shows too much information at once, but only few of these facts are actually useful. Some columns are useless most of the time. This is especially true if you consider the "Virtual Machines" tab just an overview, not an in-depth view of all VMs. Lets discuss this further: - Display: not interesting if I just want to see the overview - Status: redundant, the icon in the first row already tells me about this Perhaps. But remember that "Shut down" and "Shutting down" actually have the same icon. If the status column gets ditched, the icons need to be more clear first, in my opinion. - Uptime: not interesting at all, I never used this information for anything We do. It´s really good information to have when you use a centralized updating system like forcing updates and reboots through puppet or WSUS. If you see that every VM has been rebooted after there should have been updates except one, you know that VM probably is in some kind of trouble. - Host, IP, Cluster, Datacenter: Really, why should I care about these details, if I just want to see an overview of my VMs? If I want to know any of these, I can click on any VM and see every detail. Or I choose a specific datacenter or Cluster to see specific details about it. I think this applies to almost every "overview" page in oVirt. It's too much information at once, and even worse, too much useless information. The point is to show only *really* important information first (status, usage), and from this point the user/admin should be able to go deeper and view specific details. Remember, it's just my opinion :-) Ciao - Frank _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org<mailto:Users@ovirt.org> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Med Vänliga Hälsningar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Karli Sjöberg Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Box 7079 (Visiting Address Kronåsvägen 8) S-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden Phone: +46-(0)18-67 15 66 karli.sjob...@slu.se<mailto:karli.sjob...@adm.slu.se>
