A few points of feedback:
1) I think of the Activity subtab as the dashboard for a particular
Resource or group, so I think we should build in auto-refresh, just as
we do for dashboard portlets. To minimize the performance hit on the
Server, we could round-robin the refresh calls. For example, we could
refresh one subsystem at a time, wait 10 seconds, then refresh the next
subsystem.
2) At the very least, we should provide the ability to manually refresh,
so the user can refresh the data, without having to go to a different
tab and then return to the Activity subtab or having to do a full page
refresh. This is the same idea as providing a Refresh button on all our
list views, which we do. In the Activity subtab case, the Refresh
buttons could be provided at the view level or per-subsystem.
3) For each of the subsystem sections, I would provide a "see more..."
link that would take the user to the tabular view of the full history
for that subsystem. For example, the Metrics section would provide a
link to the Monitor > Tables subtab, and the Configuration section would
provide a link to the Configuration > History subtab.
4) I think we should add a Bundles section at both the Resource and
group level (for platforms only) that shows the n most recent bundle
deployments.
5) Maybe not for v1, but I think we should eventually include config
updates, operation executions, and alerts from group members that were
not initiated via the group. This is something we've already said we'd
eventually like to do for each of the various subsystem tabs.

Hi all,
I'm looking for feedback on what the contents of the Groups Summary/Activity pages
should contain.
Note:
*Resource ->Summary pages renamed to Resource->Activity
*Group had no Summary page, just defaulted to metrics view.
in RHQ 3, the related Resource Summary/Activity pages displayed the following snapshot
for the specific resource selected:
- Recent Metrics (displaying sparklines and recent data points)
- Recent Alerts (five most recent)
- Recent Out of Bound Metrics (five most recent)
- Recent Configuration Updates (five most recent)
- Recent Operations (five most recent)
- Recent Event Counts (severity + counts for last 24 hrs)
- Recent Package History (five most recent)
in RHQ 4, we're adding the Summary/Activity page for Groups. My initial thoughts were
to list the following for each group/autogroup:
- Recent Metrics (displaying sparklines and recent metric data points)
- Recent Alerts (five most recent) but with "More.." links for user to view
full query results spanning N resources.
- Recent Configuration Updates (five most recent to display in process)
- Recent Operations (five most recent operations,include started operations as well)
- Recent Event Counts (severity + counts for last 24 hrs for only higher severity counts
displayed)
- Recent Package History (five most recent across group both created and updated)
*The 'Recent Package History' has no current group support in SLSBs. Some work
here to aggregate.
*How does this play with our decision to direct people to use Bundles instead of
manual deploy package updates?
- Recent Out of Bound Metrics (five most recent)
*The 'Recent Out of Bound Metrics' has no current group support in SLSBs. Some
work here to aggregate. Still worth it? Long standing issue with correct OOB usage for
resources. Multiply problem for groups?
Given the dashboard like nature of the Activity panel now, should we consider adding:
i)ActivityView page refresh button for whole page? Individual refresh options for each
section?
ii)Logic to automatically refresh the ActivityView sections every 20 seconds? Refresh
round robin?
Should we add some 'Bundle Operations' section to the Group Activity page for
Platform groups?
