1.411.25 ReleaseNotes En
On November 23, 2018 we released Cloudstack-UI 1.411.25. In this iteration, we introduced a feature for VM snapshots management via UI. The team also continued developing the Log View UI-plugin and implemented the time format configuration to make log filtering by time more convenient for a user. Besides, we enhanced details sidebar component for all sections and fixed a number of interface bugs. Below you can find the detailed description for main enhancements and fixes.
Working at the release, the team improved the Log View UI-plugin allowing a user to set the Date and Time filtering parameter in a convenient format. Depending on the time format set under the “Settings” section (12-hour or 24-hour) the Date and Time log filtering parameter looks as follows:
12-hour time format. A user can define values from 1 to 12 for “hours” in the Start date and the End date fields, and then select AM or PM nearby.
24-hour time format. A user can define values from 00 to 23 for “hours” in the Start date and the End date fields. No AM / PM selector is available in this case.
In the new version of the product we presented a new feature enabling Virtual Machine snapshots management. A new subsection is added to the “Snapshots” section. Under it a user can view the list of existing Virtual Machine snapshots and perform actions with them.
To move to the VM snapshots subsection a user can use the “Volume/VM” switch button at the top. The snapshots can be viewed in a list or card format. For each snapshot in the list a user can see a snapshot name, the creation date, the display name of the virtual machine the snapshot belongs to. The list can be filtered by accounts (available for Administrators), virtual machines and a creation date.
For each snapshot in the list the following actions are available:
- Revert VM to snapshot,
- Delete snapshot.
The feature is currently under development.
In the current release, we improved Details Sidebar making its width adjustable in all sections. A user can resize the sidebar by dragging its edge. A minimum allowed width is 330 px and a maximum one is 660 pх.
The set sidebar width is saved to user tags. When exiting and then entering the system back a user can work with the sidebar of the same adjusted width convenient for him or her.
During the iteration out team fixed interface bugs that improved the following interface components:
- Color picker for a virtual machine;
- Service offering selecting component;
- Resource usage panel;
- VM Data disks in the VM details sidebar.
