Devices Suggestions #411

Open sebthebert opened 11 years ago

sebthebert commented 11 years ago

- Location: Add the location to be shown in the devices table. At the moment I only see the location if I edit a device.

- Dashboard: I do not know if it is possible, but showing the last for example 50 log messages at the bottom of the device dashboard would be cool ;)

- Columns: Make a setting (dropdown-menu with radio- /check-buttons) or something to hide or to show columns. For example I do not need Name AND IP address because both columns are showing the same (the hostname of the device) for all of my devices. Or Syslog Type. I only have devices with syslog as syslog type, so for me that column could be hidden to save space and make other things "better visible".

Guys, I hope you don't mind if I add some comments to Michael's suggestions.

- Location: the string can be quite long, so it would be nice to be able to display maybe just portion of Location? E.g. only Rack info?

- Dashboard: maybe 50 is overkill? ;-) Maybe just around 10? But, of course, it all depend on situation...

- Columns: agreed 100%. Also, do you think it's worth of making "Stop" and "Pause" buttons in "Action" column be selectible such that these actions can be performed on selected group of Devices (similar to approach in "Alerts Viewer")? Related to this - maybe make another field editiable on "Edit Device" page - "IP address"? I do too have "Name" and "IP address" columns identical in our setup. Or change the way Octopussy fills that field when it discovers new device?

A short comment which refers more to the original feature request: Why not adding a "Details" button on the frontpage near "Total Events on Last Minute". I think that would be a propper place for showing the latest 50 or whaterver loglines. It would also leaverage the need for a hackish debug facility. A colleague of mine chose to modify Rsyslog and create a new target to put all received lines there for debugging purposes since Octopussy did not provide such a facility out of the box.

All these suggestions are good feature requests, I will try to work on it after 1.0 release...
