Description Perry Myers 2013-01-30 12:44:17 UTC 
Description of problem:
The ajax notifications that pop up on the top left corner of Horizon when you take an action tend to stick around forever until you close them manually which is a bit annoying.

Having a timeout (say 5 seconds) would seem to be better user experience wise
Comment 1 Yaniv Kaul 2013-01-30 13:40:13 UTC 
I wouldn't want failures to disappear so fast.
For example, right now for some elusive reason, my horizon can't fetch
quotas. I get the red dialog every time.
But I think it's OK - I don't need the green success to remain, but
errors should be explicitly dismissed.

Success messages are fine. Changed title accordingly.
Comment 2 Matthias Runge 2013-05-15 07:54:34 UTC 
I think, we need some docs for this.

It is already included in Grizzly, the behaviour is configurable:
(in local_settings.py, i.e. /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings)
HORIZON_CONFIG = {
...
    'auto_fade_alerts': {
        'delay': 3000,
        'fade_duration': 1500,
        'types': ['alert-success', 'alert-info']
    },
...
}
Comment 4 Nir Magnezi 2013-05-22 12:34:27 UTC 
Verified NVR: python-django-horizon-2013.1.1-1.el6ost.noarch

Tested both Error and success:

ERROR: 
======
Exceeded my tenant quota, the error did not disappear till I closed it myself. 

Error: Quota exceeded for cores: Requested 4, but already used 17 of 20 cores (HTTP 413) (Request-ID: req-0a4f2474-407e-4561-adda-e9b9d38fc9d4)

Error: Unable to launch instance named "test".


Success:
========
Launched an instance, The pop-up disappeared after 5 seconds

Success: Launched instance named "test".
