Topology View

The topology view is the main "ONOS out-of-the-box" view, and visualizes the network (and how mastership is divided up by cluster members), but it:

• should be augmentable by Apps running on top of ONOS 
  • eg. nodes decorated with status badges
  • nodes and/or links selectable / highlightable identifying certain links
• should be customizable by the user
  • add, position, and label subnet 'clouds' 
  • additional choice of OOTB background maps selectable 
  • ability to add custom (App provided) background map

Notes

Capture of the Brainstorming session held on 3/13, until the notes can be merged into the above "living document"

Big Picture

• ability to zoom in on a device or link to see more detail

Topology

• ability to collapse nodes or regions to provide a simpler visualization
• ability to "badge" nodes (decorate nodes with status or other "badges")
• ability for apps to "overlay" additional data about topology items (nodes, links)

Monitoring ONOS Cluster

• Configuration

• Metrics
• Health
• Installed Apps

How is the GUI used?

• Kiosk mode
  • Large screen in control center / tradeshow booth
• Diagnostics
  • Show hotspots - let used "drill down" to issue
• Demo App
  • reference implementation
• Should NOT be used for provisioning or other such tasks
  • Scripting via CLI / Rest is better suited

Platform

• Software Developer's Kit (SDK)
  • How to create and integrate GUI content from an App.

Searching / Filtering

• Global
• within Context (selected items?)

Who uses the GUI?

• Operators
• App Developers
• ONOS Dev / Test
