Feature request - Progress Inidictors in the web UI
I hope I'm sending this to the correct list.
I very much like the existing UI, but it would really benefit from
progress indicators for the asynchronous tasks that are run. I'm
thinking specifically in the area of instance deployment and other long
running tasks that might have stages to their completion.
If this was reflected in the UI (instead of the simple blinker) that
would add to the sense of progress from the users point of view. ie
10% .. 20% ... 100% and maybe some text that describes the stage.
Thanks, --Daron

I opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-466 on
behalf of Daron. This a great idea.

The best way to get feature requests on the radar is to go to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK, create an account and then submit a feature request through there.
I like the idea of this though.
Thanks

I think this seems to be a good idea . This would make the UI more informative and give a customer/developer/end user some sense of understanding of the phases of tasks that run when an API is fired , thereby rendering the flow of the API call in some sense .
@Sonny/Brian/Jessica - what do you think ? Do you see any security concerns associated with this ?
Regards,
Pranav
