Call Turbonomic API using SSO/SAML credential/token (not local user)

We can only execute APIs using a local user or Oauth. So, we have 2 problems: a) local user can't be protected like an SSO user (like when using Azure AD for conditional access); b) Oauth authentication in Turbo for APIs makes the Turbonomic an Oa...

Centralize Executed Actions between Turbonomic instances

If we want HA for any of the features that Turbonomic provides, our only option is to set up some sort of hot-warm configuration. With this configuration, actions are generated and performed locally only. If failovers have occurred in the past, it...

Executed Actions - Succeeded and Failed Dashboard enhancement

Executed Actions on the Cloud Executive Dashboard - Succeeded and Failed Dashboard shows all actions that have been actioned within Turbonomic and Externally. It would be good if the associated financials could be seen next to each action ie what ...

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...

Allow use of VLAN ID for network matching for segmentation

Today, to verify a VM can live on another vCenter, Turbonomic checks the port group name to ensure match and that the same network is available at the destination. This idea is to match on the VLAN ID instead of the port group name string.

parking filters should include Azure Synapse Analytics workspace.

An azure synapse analytics workspace business owner agreed to park the related VMs for that workspace but the Turbo Parker can't just select those machines based on workspace. The workaround is to tag those VMs with the workspace (or other tag). T...

Allow greater control over "externalTaskTimeoutMin" API setting by action type

Every different action type has dramatically different timeout expectations. For example, a compute vmotion should have a relatively lower timeout (<45 min), whereas a storage vmotion should account for a longer timeout, with some taking severa...

Pricing adjustments for all clouds

Currently there is a way to input a pricing adjustment for AWS services but not Azure or GCP. It's possible this info is derived another way but the configuration UI is inconsistent.

Policy Toggles to enable/disable a specific policy

Use case 1: Auto imported policies are not needed and are interfering with user defined policies. Enable a policy toggle to disable it at the policy level in Turbonomic so that no resources are affected by it. A bulk selection and disable menu ava...
