Description David Gibson 2013-07-08 02:22:09 UTC

Description of problem:

UUIDs for VMs are used extensively internally, and often appear in logs and errors.  However, determining a particular VM's UUID from the Web UI is harder than it should be.

Actual results:

Selecting a VM in the Web UI does not show an obvious way to determine its UUID.

Given a VM's UUID, neither is there an easy way to find the corresponding VM in the UI.

Expected results:

The VM's UUID should appear in the General tab when a VM is selected in the UI.

Entering a VM's UUID in the Web UI search field should locate the VM with that UUID in the UI.

this is an RFE in fact, though small.

Comment 2 Michal Skrivanek 2013-07-30 07:52:13 UTC

should be in WebAdmin's VM general subtab

in is13 VM id is visible in general tab, and VM can be filtered out by using the id
