Flint,
I do support UI method for solution management.
My point is that it is not Horizon one as it is on a different layer.

Hi arkady,
Ok understood your point.
However, as an operator and administrator of a really large deployment I 
disagree with this statement as a lot of our company's admins and operators 
indeed rely a lot on the dashboard rather than the CLI for a lot of daily tasks.
Not everyone is willing to goes with the CLI each time it need to perform some 
relatively short tasks.
About the TripleO UI and configuration management, tracability could definitely 
be an addition to the array with a column resuming at least the three last 
modifications.
Even if the foundation is providing deployment guidelines and reference designs 
it shouldn't be something enforced as every users will have for sure different 
use case.

Anyway, thanks everyone for your answers, that's really interesting to get your 
insights.

Flint,
Horizon is targeted to a user not administrator/operator.
The closest we have is TripleO UI .
Whatever change in any node configuration from OpenStack down to OS to HW need 
to be recorded in whatever method used to set openstack in order to be able to 
handle upgrade.
Thanks,
Arkady

Subject: [Openstack-operators] Openstack operational configuration improvement.

Hi everyone, I don't really know if this list is the good one, but I'll have my 
bet on it :D
Here I go.
Since many times now, I'm managing  Openstack platforms, and one things that 
always amazed me is its lack of comprehensive configuration management for 
services within Horizon.
Indeed, you can set and adapt pretty much everything within Horizon or the CLI 
except for the services configuration.
So here is a proposal regarding this issue:
I think of it as a rework of the already existing system information panel from 
the admin dashboard such as:
Within the services tab, each service line would now be a clickable drop down 
containing an additional subarray named configuration and listing the whole 
available configurations options for this service with information such as:
- Current value: default or value. (Dynamically editable by simply clicking on 
it, write the new value on the INI file).
- Default value: the default sane value. (Not editable default value of the 
option).
- Reload / Restart button. (a button enforcing the service to reload its 
configuration).
- Description: None or a short excerpt. (Not editable information about the 
option meaning).
- Documentation: None or a link to the option documentation. (Not editable).

What do you think of it?

PS: If this discussion should go with the horizon team rather than the 
operational team, could someone help with this one as I didn't find any mailing 
list related endpoint?
Thanks a lot.
