One Node View

[vjeffrey]

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

I want to be able to see the last ccr and scan status of all my nodes in one view.

Quickly understand the state of your nodes in a holistic way - one list view of all nodes, displaying node metadata, last run/scan status and end time, and a link to more details. Alert users of newly failing nodes.

This epic introduces new view in automate (possibly landing page?) that will give users a way to easily find nodes with failing scans/passing runs etc.

allows users to search by node metadata as well as penultimate and last scan and run status, combining any/all filters.

CUSTOMER IMPACT:

answers common questions for the users instead of making them ask/figure it out

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:

• Show one page view of nodes for Infra, InSpec, and Applications services

• The table will have the following values to view:

  • Node Name
  • Platform
  • Environment
  • Last Client Run (should link to details)
  • Last Scan (should link to details)
  • Service Status

• Search bar

• Sort on all table fields

• page under "dashboards" top nav, side link called "Nodes" (?)

• pagination! (100 rows per page. note this is not limited to the same 10k restrictions other list node views are limited to)

• One node view will be under a feature flag

OUT OF SCOPE:

• no gear icon on table
• no download
• no filter buttons
• no status changes on search (static count)
• no date ranges for search

TEST SCENARIO:

• run a scan with audit cookbook
• run a scan job
• expect to see both nodes in the list
• expect one node to have last ccr link and last scan link, one to only have last scan link

notes from triad mtg november 19th:

• search on node name, environment, platform
• display those fields + last client run time + status & last scan time + status
• sort on all table fields. sort under run and scan should be sorting by time not status
• clicking on a client run or scan status/time link will lead do details page for that scan/run for that node
• page under "dashboards" top nav, side link called "Nodes" (?)
• pagination! (100 rows per page. note this is not limited to the same 10k restrictions other list node views are limited to)
• no gear icon on table
• no download
• no status changes on search (static count)
• no date ranges for search

the stuff that starts with "no" is to be possibly addressed at a later time

december 13:

• add column for applications/service status per node

@alexpop had a great idea today -- a tooltip on the "last scan" and "last run" sections telling users what that means, for example for a user that only uses chef infra but not compliance and doesn't know what "last scan" is/how to do one

@jonong1972 what about allowing users to multi-select delete? that may be a nice feature to throw in as an easy way to clean up the nodes list as we start to expose data that was previously hidden...some users may have old/dup nodes they want to delete

For infra nodes, node name is not a unique field, a node can be defined as a combination key of node name, org and chef server in the absence of a node ID. I think ideally we could get the node ID's and use a UUID to correlate nodes.

Here's some info about ID coordination in case it helps:

Hopefully this can help with some of the details.
