Description
Current landing page, despite the recent refresh, still exhibits some issues:
- Effective visualization
- There are 17 widgets loosely grouped around 3 themes (Status, Capacity & Performance).
- Status cards are mostly text, static and with no visual hints. They also occupy a third of the landing page. This could be condensed and undesired/changing situations could be visually highlighted.
- Missing data:
- In light of the ability to enable compression and the future deduplication feature the dashboard should be able to show a savings/storage efficiency ‘card’
- Pool status and usage.
- Data becoming less relevant/obsolete:
- PG’s per OSD are not that relevant with the autoscaler, and should be removed (as long as we have an out-of-the-box alert in place)
- Scrubbing (are operators really monitoring here whether scrubbing happens or not? this should perhaps be an alert, rather than a fixed card 99% in inactive state)/
- Contextualization/integration:
- The alerts shown should also have links to the relevant component (OSD DOWN -> OSDs page for example).
This would be chance for another rethinking on the landing page (v3) in order to make it more intuitive, more evenly distributed when it comes to information displayed and its relevancy.
