Add "Cluster Tags" to VM group creation

Currently there is not a way to create VM groups based on its cluster tag. This feature would provide a great way to create dynamic groups based on something we can extract from vCenter from other use cases. For example, say I have a supercluster ...

Allow a way for app owners to see pending changes without Turbonomic access

Overwhelmingly, app owners want to know what's changing on their VMs (rightfully). Allowing them to see some sort of public dashboard of pending actions would help us greatly instead of either having to give all of them access or checking for the ...

For example, if we would like to create a custom widget with "Workload Cost Breakdown" commodity which used on "Cloud Executive Dashboard", but finding "Workload Cost Breakdown" commodity from "Add Widget" function is not a easy task unfotunatelly...

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...

Add a description field of at least 256 characters to Groups and Policies to allow for annotation of when and why they were created for and what other objects they correspond to.

Just as this description field is used in this idea submission, a description field in the Groups and Policies will allow us to tag them with metadata that will be useful in remembering when and why we created them.

Add list of Policies to the bottom of the Details Action page on volume actions. Currently it is inconsistent with other entity types like EC2, RDS, etc.

When viewing a virtual machine or database server the Action details page has a list of policies at the bottom of the proposed changes, so you can quickly see what's applied to it that is driving that recommendation. It would be handy to also see ...

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...

Plot historical percentile values in "Prove It" UI when actions are taken

Today, using VM resize actions as an example, we only show the percentile value based on the current capacity of the resource. When customers take an action to either resize up or resize down to bring the percentile back into its desired state, th...

We want to make a group of groups. Currently not possible

There are multiple business cases. ONE: A group of all the groups of prod servers that have been rightsized. And having that one group - enables the Turbonomic Tech Champion to keep an eye on them for performance issues. TWO: Group of Application...
