I like the idea and would like to see a demo if you get one ready. I agree
with the previous suggestions about using and ameliorating the APIs instead
of querying directly to the databases.

In my previous organization, we also struggled with the management of
numerous big clusters and we developed a home-made Django web portal to
satisfies queries and automation that Horizon could not do. I would be
curious to see which functions have been developed for 'openstack-admin'
and how similar the needs are.

Cheers,
