Description Ram Nainsingh Tiruwa 2017-04-10 10:25:02 UTC

Description of problem:
creating custom widgets on Red Hat Satellite

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All versions

Expected results:

add/remove pre-existing widgets available


Additional info:
A widget that shows the quantity of server per host collection or host group
A widget that shows an small result set of a query/search like:  "facts.lcm_platform = wls" and let us know how many server there are?

Comment 1 Ram Nainsingh Tiruwa 2017-04-10 11:08:37 UTC

facts.bios_vendor = "Dell Inc." There we get a result set of 12 servers. So, a widget with that search could show us a custom label:

Can you plese let me know a bit more what you are looking for?

Comment 3 Ram Nainsingh Tiruwa 2017-04-11 16:18:44 UTC

Customer wants to have a customize widgets on the dashboard page. As of now we have the limited options of dashboard widgets which can be shown/hidden but can not be tweaked as required. Few requirement is already mentioned, can ask if anything else is required. Accordingly we can check the feasibility with the engineering team to take it further.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.

As a workaround, a custom plugin could be created to expose this dashboard. Plase see http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/How_to_Create_a_Plugin to create the plugin and https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/server_administration_guide/chap-red_hat_satellite-server_administration_guide-red_hat_satellite_customizing_satellite_server for adding new plugins.
