idea/rfc: device screen in cockpit
by Martin Polednik 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Hello, I have an idea for cockpit, but before thinking it further, I'm interested in hearing your opinions. I am oVirt developer mostly dealing with system stuff and this is something that could be useful in virtualization while also providing utility for administrators using cockpit. The idea is about new tab/plugin (not sure of the terminology) called 'devices', that would allow access to (hardware) devices as exposed by sysfs. The interface could be similar to 'Services' tab/plugin, showing a list of device names created from their physical location, similarly to libvirt's nodedev-list. After clicking on the name, new screen would be presented, showing additional information such as * physical address, * driver in use, * special capabilities (SR-IOV numvfs and totalvfs, NPIV max_vports, vports), * iommu group (possibly clickable to reveal all devices in given group), * vendor, vendor id, product, product id. Additionally, it makes sense to allow some basic operations: * unbinding from host driver, binding it to specific one (useful for local vfio-pci testing), * reattaching it back (one use case is that oVirt does not reattach devices automatically due to possible issues, needs user intervention), * setting numvfs, vports, * ... ? Do you find ideas above reasonable for cockpit? It is mostly in idea phase, and builds on development and requirements of oVirt. I personally believe that this could be useful for broader audience. Thanks, mpolednik

Cockpit 0.113
by Stef Walter 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

A summary of the Cockpit weekly release. There's a new release every week. Here are the highlights from the 0.112 and 0.113 releases. Display time information for systemd timer jobs ----------------------------------------------- Harish Anand a Google Summer of Code student working on Cockpit, and he's implementing systemd timers. These are similar to cron jobs, and are a structured way of running a command or other systemd unit at a specific time. Some of his initial work got merged, and you can see it in action here: Video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/2mGAlpZWQUQ?rel=0 Merged: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4503 More: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4645 Wireframes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-design/master/ser… Hide unmanaged Network Interfaces --------------------------------- NetworkManager has the concept of marking certain network interfaces as "unmanaged". This is done with a NM_CONTROLLED="no" setting in a file placed in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ Cockpit now respects the admins wishes and and hides such interfaces from its Network configuration. The *On/Off* switch is also disabled appropriately for unknown interfaces. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4627 More: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4640 Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1330552 Network bonds are created with Active/Backup -------------------------------------------- When a new network bond is created the *Active/Backup* mode is used as the default. This is a more common choice for admins, and makes sense to point people in this direction. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4653 Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1348066 Added textual fields to container resource sliders -------------------------------------------------- Users can now type actual amounts in memory megabytes, or CPU shares when starting a container, in addition to being able to use a slider. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/3aTGCPy.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4611 Disable tuned correctly when disabling performance profiles ----------------------------------------------------------- The tuned service needs to be stopped and disabled when choosing the "none" performance profile. The behavior now lines up with what users expect using the tuned-adm command line tooling. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4623 Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1330473 From the Future --------------- Lars is working on making the terminal be resizable, so you're not limited to a small display when working on the machine. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4633 Try it out ---------- Cockpit 0.113 is available now: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/0.113 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-0.113-1.fc24 https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/g/cockpit/cockpit-preview/ Take care, Stef
