Search-ability or Finding Resources

Using this in a live environment is easy in the beginning, but as you grow it's incredibly difficult to find things.

For example:
As an admin I go in and see an Account. I can't see which VMs this Account has.
If I go to Instances, I have to know what the label of the VM is to find it. I can't search by Account name.
If I go to Networks, I can randomly scroll down the list by Account holder, but I can't search by Account name.
If I need to find the Virtual router, I can't search by Account name. I have to open every vrouter property to find the one that I want. If I have over 20 this is a long process.

Should I not be able to search by account name (user) and find all the resources assigned to this person? Better yet, have this all on one screen for the CloudStack admin.

- As an admin I go in and see an Account. I can't see which VMs this Account has.

Login to CloudPlatform as admin, click on Instances from the left menu. Click on the arrow in the search box which points downwards and a menu should open. Select the domain from the dropdown and you can click on search or to further refine the search you can type the account name for which you want to list the VMs.

- If I go to Instances, I have to know what the label of the VM is to find it. I can't search by Account name.

See answer #1

- If I go to Networks, I can randomly scroll down the list by Account holder, but I can't search by Account name.

I use an excel spreadsheet to track this

- If I need to find the Virtual router, I can't search by Account name. I have to open every vrouter property to find the one that I want. If I have over 20 this is a long process.

You can track this in an excel spreadsheet or perhaps there's an SQL query you could use to find out (I haven't looked).

- Should I not be able to search by account name (user) and find all the resources assigned to this person? Better yet, have this all on one screen for the CloudStack admin.

Don't forget they have other more business/user friendly portals to manage cloudplatform. I think CloudPortal might be one such product.

Hi, detailed searches can be done via API. The default UI is continually being updated but it doesn't have complete coverage of the API functionality. A very nice tool for running API commands is the CloudStack cloudmonkey CLI. It's simple to install and configure, and it lets you easily run API commands with the desired filters.
