Discovery Console - History Panel Enhancement

Some basic enhancements within the history panel in the Discovery Console:

1: The user can currently select multiple discovery entries from the top panel. The discovery details in the bottom panel should be updated to reflect details for all select discoveries.

2: A metrics panel should be displayed in the history panel (or as a popup from a button click) to show a summary of statistics for one or more selected discovery entries.

3: The user should be able to export the lower panel discovery data to PDF or Excel. The Summary of Statistics should also be included in the export.

4. The user should be able to filter the lower panel discovery data to show details of a specific Sensor(s) or specific Host(s) or specific description etc.

    Please confirm below understanding on the "Discovery Summary" details:
    1. Number of Discovery Servers Used : We understand, this is the count of different TADDM discovery servers used for selected discoveries.
    2. Number of Discovery Sessions Started : This is the total count of session sensors triggered for all the selected discoveries.
    3. Number of Devices Discovered : Here, by devices do you mean the app servers, storage devices, database servers or component type ? If yes, then this count will give the total number of component types for all the selected discoveries.
    4. Number of Profiles Used : This is the total count of discovery profiles used in selected discoveries. Here, Our assumption is that you are referring to the "distinct" profiles being used.
    5. Number of Sensors Used : This is the count of all the sensors triggered in selected discoveries. Here, Our assumption is that you are refering to the "distinct" sensors being used.
    6. Number of Sensors Discoveries Started : What is difference between this metric and point 5 metric (Number of Sensors Used)? Is only difference that here total count of sensors is being referred, i.e. repeated sensors also counted.
    7. Number of Sensors Discoveries Succeed: This is the count of all the sensors which executed successfully for all the selected discoveries.
    8. Number of Sensors Discoveries Fail : This is the count of all the sensors which are not successful, i.e. have reported errors. (warnings are not considered in this count)
    9. Number of Sensors Discoveries Warnings : This is the count of all the sensors which have reported warnings.
    10. Number of Events : What do you mean by events here ? Does it mean the different error types like Timeout Issue, Connect Issue or Storage Issue ?

    Adrian, so that we can get a better clarity on the needs you have, can you please tell us what types of errors you look for, and/or how a error is recognized? The initial thought is, if there is a way you needs could be addressed by a diagnostic utility that transverses the data looking for key indicators.

    In addition, I have split the RFE into 3 new RFE's, dividing down your requirement into individuate requirements, to making reviewing and tracking the requirements easier. All 4 RFE's are associated to the same dW RFE ID, but you may not see the new internal numbers reflected. As a note, the new RFE numbers, in addition to this one, based upon your original order are as follows: (2) 87690, (3) 87691, and (4) 87692.
