Node state shows as “Active” in Turbonomic Console even when a Node is marked as “unschedulable” in OpenShift

When draining a NODE OpenShift Kubernetes, and un-schedulable in OpenShift, Turbonomic console shows the node as "Active". There is no way to know if a NODE is un-schedulable or cordoned. Similar to VCenter where a Host is in maintenance mode it show inactive in the console. 

Note: NODE was drained and overhead daemon processes were left running. Shows Active.

    Hi @David please advise as to the information provided and if this meets the use case, given that State is not exactly the same thing as Status in our Market analysis use of State.

    It is important to note that if we use the definition of the entity state (Active, Inactive, Unknown), then this impacts ACTIONS. So if I set a Cordoned node to INACTIVE for example it will block VM Moves, and this is not what you want.

    Hi David, active in the market is a definition of an entity. A cordoned node is still running and active. Our analytics understands that the node is not eligible for pods to move there.

    We show NoSchedule which is a k8s taint as part of the "Tags" on a Node. Note this taint is also on control plane / master nodes.

    For visibility, and given that a node can also be un-cordoned so this taint can change, you can create this group. Please see the attached ppt showing you how to do this, that anyone from Turbo can show. Based on this, can we close this Idea as already available?
