movirt's Issues

Scanned host IDs requires lowercase letters

Hex digits a-f in host ids are required to be lowercase. One would expect it is case-insensitive.

Steps to reproduce:

Get id of host using REST api
Edit at least one a-f digit to uppercase in that id
Generate datamatrix (e.g. http://datamatrix.kaywa.com/) and scan it

Result: "NO SUCH HOST" message
Expected result: Host details shown.

Make ClusterDrawerFragment not transparent

Currently the cluster drawer has transparent background which makes the list of clusters very difficult to read. It would be great if we could change it to a solid non transparent background.

moVirt is slow when there are lots of events

All the events of the datacenter are shown all the time. In case of a bigger deployment it makes moVirt very slow to render first time.

No refresh on connection lost

Once you've connected moVirt app to the engine, if the connection goes down the app doesn't refresh the state keeping last state displayed.

For example you can see a VM still in start-up and the host up and running also if the engine has been disconnected 20 days before.

support spice-proxy

It is not yet in aSPICE and the support in govirt is questionable.
The task here is to investigate what the real gaps are and if possible, close them.

save last connection error into connection info

show after a click on connection triangle

snapshot shows error on screen rotation

Add support for VM Snapshots

We should add a new VM detail fragment that can list VM's snapshots and provide basic management operations with them (create, preview, undo, delete).

Enable horizontal navigation between tabs

It would be nice if the user could navigate between the various tabs in MainActivity and VmDetailActivity by horizontally swiping like in Google Play application. It seems like android.support.v4.view.ViewPager could be utilized to this end http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/lateral.html but further research is needed.

Previously downloaded cert disappears after updating DB scheme.

This leads to exception.

If connection information persists after updating DB scheme it may be possible to download cert automatically after DB update and avoid this error.

Add the "Filter: true/false" header

For non-admin users the "Filter: true" has to be added to the HTTP headers when talking to the oVirt's REST API.
More specifically, a new checkbox to the account settings has to be added called "Admin Privilege". It will be by default unchecked.
If checked, the "Filter: false" will be added to the headers.
If un-checked, the "Filter: true" will be added to the headers.

Adding engine fails if url prefixed by spaces

Adding new engine to moVirt fails if the url of engine if prefixed by spaces (difficult to spot) in "Connection Settings" screen.

Dashboard units

Version: 1.3 rc3

The dashboard should

dynamically change units and
limit number of digits

of shown variables to keep them easily readable.
E.g. "23456GB" can be rendered as "23.5TB"

Add option to stop polling in Settings Page.

Add a checkbox in Settings Page to stop moVirt from polling the datacentre to update Events.

add ability to manage more ovirt installations from one movirt

if there are lots of VMs, the events are not visible on main screen

Texts on scanning screen clashes

When the datamatrix is scanned, texts are rendered over each other, both for recognized host and unknown datamatrix.

Dashboard max usage redirection doesn't depend on a cluster

Redirection from dashboard to list of vms/hosts sorted by cpu/memory should select the most used cluster. Now it redirects to the currently selected cluster.

Certificates doesn't work on Android 4.1.2 (API 16)

The same cert works on emulator with API 21.

Add ability to disable SSL certificate check

A first step towards full SSL support is to provide an escape hatch for users that are required to use SSL on the server and want to use moVirt over a trusted connection.

moVirt app can't be "moved to SD card"

The app requires to be executed from phone internal storage (as opposed to be able to be moved to SD card).

Steps to reproduce:

Open Application manager (Settings > Applications > Application Manager)
Open moVirt details
Button "Move to SD card" is disabled

.

VM detail -> run on host is not working

go to a running VM -> general and the "host" button is empty and not clickable.

support 4.0 API

there is a need for a quick fix for moVirt to support 4.0 API. 2 parst are needed:

send the "Version: 3" header with all requests to force the fallback 3.x api on 4.0 engines. Later a proper support of the 4.0 API will be needed, this is going to be a quick fix
the engine CA cert is no longer on /ovirt-engine/ca.crt but on /ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA -> this path is supported also on 3.6 so it is safe to propose this option in the authentication screen

A crash report from user contains this stack trace

Needs investigation, the stack trace:

Support VM NIC details & actions

Add VM Nic Detail Activity and support basic operations on it (activate/deactivate, plug/unplug)

Formatting of the DASHBOARD text on MainActivity Page

In the labels, the Dashboard text is in upper case while other texts like All clusters and Settings are in lower case.

Refactor Loaders

Snapshots and Vms fragment in hosts show duplicate loader.

Snapshots loader shown in event fragment while swiping. Do we need to show that we load snapshots while swiping?
Same for Disks and Nics.

events are broken for Filter: true

If the "Filter" header is set to "true", oVirt's REST does not support any "search" nor "from" url params. The only url param it supports is the "max". This brings us the following problems:
1: we fail on insert of this event to DB because of primary key violation (we expect the "from" to work but it does not so it returns all the events)
2: it is REALLY slow, the events collection can be couple of megs long - parsing it and working with it every couple of seconds is expensive
3: the events are not sorted and there is no way to make them sorted (the sorting can be set up for search only)
4: since the "search" does not work, on the vm details view we anyway show all the events

The first issue can be solved by simply checking if the event we are about to store is bigger than the last one stored
Not sure how to solve the second issue... It would be good to just use the "max" url param, but we can not rely on the fact that it will return the last N events since it returns them un-sorted
the sorting can be done simply on the moVirt side - but the problem comes when considering the previous thing
The last issue can be solved simply by not loading the events from REST but from our DB

Re-evaluate minimum supported android version

We currently state in manifest that we support 4.0 which I am not sure is still the case. There is also a lot of features in 4.1 that require workarounds to work for 4.0.

We should test whether moVirt still fully functions on 4.0 and also use this issue to track all occurrences of 4.0 workarounds, that should be ultimately removed when we decide to bump the minimum to 4.1.

search box in snapshots fragment doesn't work properly

crashes on status filtering
TODO: decide which filtering options should be availible

Textual enhancements to Add Trigger dialog

The Add Trigger currently has Condition, Above: and Notify options. These texts could be changed to
Condition, Threshold (for CPU and Memory) and Notification.
Also, the second line texts like Above, Regex to match, and When status have a trailing semi-colon while other option do not have. We can keep the formatting of options uniform on this dialog box.

on load of the app the poll is done twice

Disable load button when connection details are not set.

Following are the error logs when the load button is pressed in absence of connection details.
http://pastebin.com/AnbyF5bc

Possible fix - disable the load button and clear button when connection details are not set.

Utilize Vm.Command enum for UI action status checks

A centralized configuration of VM's actions is available in the Vm.Command enum, but it is currently unused. Also for adding any new actions (e.g for Hosts) a similar pattern should be utilized (i.e Host.Command enum with host actions and supported statuses)

Implement Host UI

Recent commit 876f1e1 added necessary infrastructure for Hosts. What is missing is similar details UI as we have for VM's (HostDetailActivity with HostDetailGeneralFragment, EventsFragment and NicDetailFragment).

UI enhancement for Connection Settings Activity

In the Connection Settings Activity, the Advanced Settings and Save Account overlaps password field.

Replace the current search box with something nicer

The current search box is really ugly - it would be nice if it would use some more standard/nice way of doing this.

Support VM Disk details & actions

Add VM Disk Detail Activity and support basic management operations on it

Fix android lint warnings and re-enable lint build step

The lint step was temporarily disabled on master, until all warnings can be properly fixed, in order to obtain better build error reporting from Travis CI. It was not very helpful when each commit/pull request failed CI because of this (despite compiling and passing tests).

This should of course be fixed properly by fixing the warnings and re-enabling the android lint step in gradle.

UI changes for the authenticator activity

I would like to propose some UI changes for the authenticator activity. Please review the images and give me your inputs.
Suggested changed UI:

Current UI:

Repeated connection failure message on initial configuration flow

When configuring a fresh installation of moVirt in case the connection fails (for whatever reason: invalid certificate, host not found) the application displays several user unfriendly messages.

This should be replaced by one higher-level (frendlier) message since we expect user to make a lot of mistakes in initial configuration.

Add support for Host Triggers

Recent commit 876f1e1 added necessary infrastructure for Hosts. Now we need to extend existing Trigger UI code to support hosts. We would also like to utilize the existing Cpu, Memory and Status Conditions for hosts. This will probably require introduction of some interfaces for individual properties.
