I kinda like the interface, but somebodies always got something better.
Maybe I could put something together, but first I need to finish the software
plugin.
Here's what I'd like to see as an entry page. I know I'm getting carried away,
but maybe someday.
Dashboard display customized by user to include different applets.
User can customize # columns in his dashboard and then include applets in those
columns. Maybe even adjustable width columns.
Some functions to make creating customized applets easy.
Static area at top for admins to post MOTD and news like planned RackTables
downtime.
Applets might include:
- My Favorite filters: create save as favorite for filters so you can get to
them easy
- Hardware Type cloud; like in a blog clickable links to all hardware types
in your data center
- Software Type cloud; same as Hardware Type cloud but for software
- My logs; list of most recent logs you created
- Most recent updates; top 10 or customized number of recent updates to
objects, racks, etc.
- Problem hosts, quick list of hosts with has problem set
- Logs list; scrollable box with condensed clickable logs list.
- easy add; simple form to input name, select device type (drop down) click
add. Then in same box display new object added with link to objects properties
tab to get right into updating information.
