[jira] [Commented] (CLOUDSTACK-4666) VM created under projects don't show up in admin instances, or under hosts

["Remi Bergsma (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4666?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13911431#comment-13911431 ] 

Remi Bergsma commented on CLOUDSTACK-4666:
------------------------------------------

Alena, Danny, 
The UI does list the project routers (by making 2 api calls as you said) but for instances/virtual machines this is not the case. It would make sense to have the same behavior. As an admin I would like to see what is still running on a given host, for example when I want to decommission a cluster.

Could you please add the 2nd API call (projectid=-1) so that all instances are showed to the admin?

Thanks!
Remi

> If you create a VM via the API that is assigned to a project it the VM isn't viewable anywhere except in the project view.  Even for the admin user.
> Places you can't see them in the UI:
> Admin -> Instances
> Admin -> Infrastructure -> Hosts -> Hostname -> View Instances
> User -> Instances
> this is problematic because you have no way of gauging the overall utilisation of hosts without being able to see all hosts assigned to them.  
> It seems to me that assigning a VM to a project shouldn't remove it from the overall instances list.  You should be able as a user be able to have the overall view of instances regardless of project in the instances view as long as you are a member of that project.  If you need to get granular with what VMs are assigned to what projects you can do that via the project view.  And the admin should definitely be able to see all instances in the instances page without having to delve into the project view and trying to find the host.
