Description of problem: In the overview page for an OSP Director infrastructure provider, the "Aggregate Host / Node Memory" includes the memory available to the controller(s) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.6.1.2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add OSP director provider 2. Browse to overview page for provider 3. Actual results: In a 2 node (1 controller, 1 compute) enviornment, it shows 16 GB aggregate memory Expected results: It should only display the compute node memory...because no one really cares to include controller host memory in this type of statistic. Additional info:
So the attribute being displayed is accurate; we can also break out the information by role, if you'd like. In the meantime, I believe that you can view metrics by role under the role tab.
Actually, I just realized that I think this feature already exists. If you go to the Deployment Roles tab and click on a particular role, you'll see aggregated metrics that should match what you're looking for.

However, please consider making this change to the summary page for the provider. I can't imagine a scenario where someone would care to include the cpu/mem capacity of controllers in the summary of aggregate resources in a cloud cluster. That would be like including the cpu/mem for the vcenter or rhev manager with the summary of those providers.
I think there are two use cases here: - Infra Person wants to know how much hardware the have in CPU/Memory... - OpenStack admin wants to know how much compute resources they have. I think for Nate scenario, of you go in the Deployment Role place which is not really nice OR just create a Widget in the dashboard. We should not change anything for now.

But when would anyone look at an OpenStack provider and want to see the controller cpu/memory calculated in the total available to that provider? That memory and cpu is not available as capacity for VMs to use. If I wanted to see my controller cpu & memory, then I should have to go look at a deployment role or dig for it some more since it is not something people are going to be looking at on a regular basis. Again, this is like looking at the VMware provider and having the vCenter cpu & memory included in the aggregate total. Doesn't make any sense.
I really understand the use case but I think we have a more elegant way to solve this.
