The NethServer End User Dashboard

Feature
21

@sitz What do you understand under draft analysis?

From my understanding we have two situation for the user.

  1. One front-end to do all settings, FAX and data.
  2. User with more right to see information about the status of the server.

I would propose that the admin can decide which information the user can see. Maybe one user should check if everything is ok during the absence of the administrator. And the owner wish to see the status of the server.

@WillZen I mean: start to write something that helps a developer to create something.

Since I have created this post I think to it a lot, maybe too much.
Many things are clear in my mind many others not.

Firt of all the title:“NethServer End User Dashboard” maybe we should split this concept in

  1. NethServer Monitoring/Supervisioning Dashboard
    Real time view of some server activities

  2. NethServer User Dashboard
    Operations a delegated user can do

I’m very interested in concpet No. 1 beacuse in my experience many non IT people asked to me how to see some server activities without too much instructions/steps.

Still remain privacy and security issues to deal with.

I am totally agree with you about “NethServer Monitoring/Supervisioning Dashboard - Real time view of some server activities”. It is useful also for admins.

Perhaps the Dashboard could be accessed also as url (from Green). In this case, the users can access only the Dashboard without more privileges or “too much instructions/steps”.

I agree with the split of the dash board.
The dash board for the user should be clear.

The dash board for NethServer Monitoring/Supervisioning should get a good overview what happen.
From my opinion it should be in:
Collected Graph Pannel
Log files analysis of errors and warnings or/and potential intrusions
Back up status and usage
Disk usage
Memory
Swap
Log files analysis of errors and warnings or/and potential intrusions
Software RAID
Network
etc which could decided by the administrator

The best would be some graphical display of the status like a traffic lights. Green, Yellow, Red.

I thought a little bit further.
The Nethserver is a tool for me. It should work which less effort as possible. The dash board should show the necessary information in that way that I have to spent as less as possible to check the status.

Is it possible to have a light or an info corresponding to the status?
Green -> everything is ok
Yellow -> some warning or we will run out of space, average CPU temperature is higher, etc
Red -> Errors, running out of space, etc.

Than the specific information as listed above.
