Today, if you navigate to a VM > Policies > Automation Workflow, you'll see "Attribute", "Value", and "Active Policy". You have to read through them row by row. If we're able to add the functionality to sort and filter the table, we can quic...

Allow insert limit in Park override

Today if a user override a parket VM, they can choose between a end date or a number of hours. But someone with bad intentions can override for 1 year or 999 hours for instance. The admin should have a way to put limit on each override, like 2 hou...

Include date in projected end timestamp for schedules

If you set an end time of 1464 hours later, for example, you'll get a message like: Occurs once effective Tue, Aug 20, 2024 starting at 14:00 and finishing 61 days later at 14:00. This idea is for including a timestamp at the end time: Occurs once...

Use Groups to schedule a Park action

The Park action currently only allows filtering by Name and Region/Tag, with Groups (turbonomic-settings) not being a selectable filter option at this time. Park using Groups would make more sense

Add top level cloud provider filter to the Action Center Global Environment UI

Currently when starting at the Action Center Global Environment, you have to click on Scale/Volume or Resize/App Component, etc and then select which cloud provider you are interested in. This must be replicated for each level down in the Actions ...

Add functionality to log hot-to-warm failover and/or make more visible when actions were disabled

Failing over is a manual process, and changes to what instance is running "hot" and what instance is running "warm" are not clearly evident from the charts. It would be very beneficial to not only be able to see, transposed onto all historical gra...

In Turbonomic Segments view of Policies, allow sort/filter/group by Type (e.g. Host Merge, Storage Merge, Network Merge under Merges)

The one-layer depth to the Turbonomic Segments portion of policies makes for difficult searching and sorting. Adding additional filters at each of these pages would help reduce noise and improve ease of management. I have submitted similar ideas i...

Action Center/Actions tab doesn't allow sorting by unique system data

In both old and new UI the Actions page only allows sorting by generic Turbonomic columns such as Non-disruptive, Reversible, Action Category and Cost Impact. It does not allow sorting the list by Tier, Disk Size/Instance Type, IOPS, Cost, New Cos...
