 WIP FS: CloudStack Chimp 

Is any of this complete?

It seems that this covers several projects.

Improved System VM template management

 Paul Angus Process for 'seeding' and updatingsystemVMtemplates needs revamping. Installation of system VM templates could/should be handled by API. As should the installing of 'updated templates'. Initial seeding of templates can be handled by the create zone wizard - thereby allowing for 'default' templates or custom URLs to be used.

Better Log handling

 

Paul Angus

Daan

 Improve logging using UUIDs and internal metricsThe CloudStack logs are often difficult to read due to the sheer volume of information which is output. This can be helped by revisiting classifications of log output such logging can be set to 'info' (rather than debug) - without losing important information.

Users/admins cannot seeprogressof storage processes such as snapshot taking, template install or template zone copy can take hours/days. Storing ‘time taken’ for snapshots would also give admins visibility into their storage performance to identify issues.

  
Show (virtual) network typologies to users and Admin. Paul Angus
(ShapeBlue)		 It is complicated for cloud admins to see which VM is connected to which network and therefore which VR. Better visibility will give much better understanding when troubleshooting.
For users being able to clearly see which guest instances are connected to which network(s) will greatly improve the user experience
