Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I am in the process of implementing Ceilometer Alarm API. Here are
the blueprints.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
While I am waiting for some Ceilometer patches to complete, I would
like to start a discussion about the bp. <a
href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/ceilometer-alarm-management-page">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/ceilometer-alarm-management-page</a>:<br>
<br>
1. The points 1-4 from are some sort simple version of the page,
that uses all basic alarm-api features. Do you think we need them
all? Any feedback for them? Enhancements?<br>
<br>
2. There is a thought, that we should maybe divide Alarms into
(System, User-defined). The only system alarms now, are set up with
Heat and used for auto-scaling. <br>
<br>
3. There is a thought about watching correlation of multiple alarm
histories in one Chart (either Alarm Histories, or the real
statistics the Alarm is defined by). Do you think it will be needed?
Any real life examples you have in mind?<br>
<br>
4. There is a thought about tagging the alarms by user defined tag,
so user can easily group alarms together and then watch them
together based on their tag.<br>
<br>
5. There is a thought about generating a default alarms, that could
observe the most important things (verifying good behaviour, showing
bad behaviour). Does anybody have an idea which alarms could be the
most important and usable for everybody?<br>
<br>
6. There is a thought about making overview pages customizable by
the users, so they can really observe, what they need. (includes
Ceilometer statistics and alarms) <br>
<br>
Could you please give me some feedback for the points above(or
anything else related)? After we collect what we need, I would push
this to UX guys, so they can prepare some wireframes of how it could
look like. So we can start discuss the UX. <br>
e.g. even the Alarm management from 1 could be pretty challenging,
as we have to come up with some sane UI, for defining general
statistic query, that defines the Alarm.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for any feedback.<br>
