[jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-350) Storage stats in admin dashboard are not pragmatic

David Nalley created CLOUDSTACK-350:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Storage stats in admin dashboard are not pragmatic
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-350
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-350
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: David Nalley
            Priority: Minor


UI reports storage seemingly at the byte level, with numbers like this: 

105689374720

Why aren't there units, and if you must use really low level units like bytes, at least add commas to make it a bit more easily parseable. That said bytes is a really non-practical unit of measure for a cloud - MB, or even GB - and in some cases TB would be far more useful. 

I'll attach a screenshot

Exactly how much capacity does it claim to be showing me?

-------------------------------------

if only local storage has this issue, it is a duplicate of CLOUDSTACK-214

Chip Childers commented on CLOUDSTACK-350:
------------------------------------------

The conversion should figure out what the meaningful *summary level* unit should be.  For example, I would like to see the number in PBs when it's greater than 1,024 TBs.
