Description of problem: It would have been more convenient if the host \ cluster ID was shown in UI, under general tab. It may save the effort to look for it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): av3
In case a customer, has a problem, and we debug it, it is more convenient to have the id straight away, and search for it in the logs. Also, this can be also useful in case of writing scripts. Such ids are required, as inputs. Otherwise we need to run a REST POST GET query to fetch it. For example, to create 100 templates, we need to run a query for the cluster id.
Einav - thoughts?
(In reply to Oved Ourfali from comment #3) > Einav - thoughts? specifically for debugging problems for customers - we added the correlation ID; if it is not helpful - need to understand why and adjust this feature accordingly. I don't think that exposing IDs in the GUI is the solution. For scripts - I am not sure exactly what the issue is. if someone needs to know information about a cluster, he needs to query the clusters anyway, to get their names, IDs, other meta-data, etc. In this case, IIUC, the user is using the GUI, as well as a script, and it would simply be more convenient for him to copy-paste the cluster-id from the GUI, rather than query it in the API. I don't think that it is an interesting-enough use-case. I am in favor of closing this bug. we can consider adding an 'id' column for the different grids, which will be hidden by default, once bug 957600 (currently flagged for future) will be taken care of, or add it in the 'General' sub-tab (which not all main-tabs have, and will not be applicable for items already in sub-tabs). again - not interesting enough IMO. @Arthur - final decision?
Einav, I think that the actual solution here is as you suggested, having an id column that is hidden by default and the can view [BZ#957600], I don't think it would be useful cluttering the general sub-tab with information that is rhev internal.
Closing - I don't think we are going to implement this. Hidden column and stuff are not part of the planned UI in 4.x
