Usage
API Access
The API Access page contains the public addresses for every module in the respective project. It also allows the user to consult the project Credentials.
Overview
The Overview page is split in two sections, the Limit Summary and the Usage Summary. The first presents the overall limits of the project, namely the maximum and used Instances, VCPUS, Floating IPs, Memory, Security Groups, Volumes and Volumes Storage. The second section presents the Total Hours and Hours per Disk, Memory and VCPU. It also includes the Server Usage Table containing the summary detailed for each instance.
Instances
The Instance page includes a tree control containing all the instances (VMs) running on the respective project. By navigating down in the tree control, the user can find the same information presented in the Hypervisor page, namely, Addresses and Volumes Attached. By selecting an instance, the user can access to its main details and also to a large menu, where he/she can find all the possible immediate actions, such as, start, stop, pause, resume, etc.., and also, where he/she can create snapshots, attach or detach volumes or network interfaces, edit the instance, resize the instance, or even update the metadata.
Going down in the tree control, the user can find all IP addresses configured in that instance and also all volumes attached.
At the top of this page there is the Launch Instance button that allows the user to fully create a new instance.
Images
The Images page show the images available for the respective project.
Key Pairs
The Key Pairs page contains all Keypairs existent for the project. In this page the user can not only monitor those keypairs, but also Create, Import and Delete them.
Volumes
The Volumes page contains a tree control where the user can immediately monitor all existent volumes for the respective project. By selecting one volume, the user can not only monitor it, but also managing it, by editing the name, description, bootable option and size. There are also a set of other possible actions available, such as, Manage Attachment, Create Snapshots, Change Volume Type, Backup, Upload to Image, Create Transfer, Update Metadata or Delete the volume. At the right top there are two buttons. The first allows the user to Create a New Volume for the respective project, while the second allows the user to Accept a Transfer.
By going down in the tree, the user can also access to the Attachments list, with the available option to detach, the Metadata list, with options to edit the value or delete it, and the Transfers list, with option to delete it.
Through the Volumes page the user can also access the Volumes Limits, Messages and Versions sub pages. In the first, the user can monitor the storage limits established for every project, as well as, the amount of used storage. In the second the user can view the messages and in the third the supported storage module's versions.
BackUps
The Backups page contains a table presenting all backups existent for the respective project.
Snapshots
The Snapshots page contains another tree control, where the user can observe all existent snapshots for the respective project and their respective metadata. By selecting one snapshot, the user can not only monitor but also edit the name and description, and also, update the metadata. The user can also delete the metadata or even the snapshot.
Consistency Groups
The Consistency Groups page contains the respective table and a button to Create a new Consistency Group.
Networks
The Networks page also contains a tree control presenting all available networks for the respective project. By selecting one network, the user can not only monitor it, but also change its configuration and execute specific action, such as, delete, create Subnets and create Ports. To create new Networks the user can push the Create Network Button located on top.
By navigating through the tree control, the user can do the same level of interaction to Subnets and Ports. By selecting a Port, the user can not only monitor and control it, but also visualize the respective Fixed IPs, Allowed Address Pairs, Extra DHCP Options and Virtual Interface Detais. On the other hand, by select a Subnet the user can monitor its Allocation Pools and also edit or delete the own subnet.
From this page the user can also access three other subpages, namely, the Subnet Pools, the Quota page and the Service Providers list. The Subnet Pools page presents a table with all existent subnet pools for the respective project. Here, the user can edit, delete and create pools. The Quota page presents a table containing all network quotas for the respective project, while the Service Providers page presents a short list of the existent service providers.
Routers
The Routers page contains a tree control from which the user can monitor and control the project's routers. By selecting one router the user can observe the details and perform basic actions, such as, edit name, description and admin state, as well as, add a new interface or even delete it. To Create a new Router the user must push the Create Button positioned at the top right.
Going down in the tree, the user will find the respective External Fixed IPs and the associated Interfaces. In the first the user can fully manage the respective Subnets, while in the latest the user can do the same operation level over the respective Ports.
Security Groups
The Security Groups page presents another tree control containing all security groups available for the respective project. By selecting one security group, the user can edit it, delete it and manage Rules. Rules, in turn, can only be added and deleted. At the top of this page exists a button to open the form required to Add a new Security Group.
Floating IPs
The Floating IPs page contains only the floating IP table, where the user can monitor, associate and disassociate IPs from ports. It is also possible to delete the floating IP. To Allocate IPs to Projects the user should click on the top right button and fill in the respective form.
IP Availability and Usage Stats
The IP Availability and Usage Stats page allows the user to consult the amount of available and used IPs for the respective project.
