Ceph » mgr » Dashboard

Add DEBUG flag to provide debug-friendly features for both back-end/front-end without (if possible) the need to restart either Ceph-Mgr, Cherrypy or even refreshing the front-end.

Expected changes in behaviour when DEBUG is enabled:

• Increased verbosity to Ceph-Mgr logs (this should already happen if Mgr Module logger is correctly mapped to Ceph-Mgr log levels)
• Angular enableProdMod not active. (is it possible without JIT build?).
  • Ideas: serve 2 Angular builds (prod and dev) from different locations.
• Increase Broswer console verbosity and enable Angular Profiler (for ng.profiler.timeChangeDetection() profiling).

This could be achieved by:

• Ceph command: ceph dashboard debug true
• Back-end: switch cherrypy enviroment to staging (from production) (via cherrypy.config.update)
• Front-end: once debug is enabled, back-end might send X-Debug: on header (no need to do active polling). This has the benefit that no extra polling is required.
