Improvements to VM metrics and monitoring

In Abiquo 6.0, Abiquo introduces many enhancements to the display of VM metrics and monitoring.

Now when you open VM monitoring, the Monitoring graphs display in a grid format.

The new grid format adapts much more easily to a larger screen.

And you can now easily open the filter from the funnel filter button at the top of the screen. 

The filter will apply to all of the graphs.

To view more details of a metric, simply click the expand arrow button at the top right of a monitoring graph.

This will expand the graph for a more comfortable viewing experience.

If you have the privileges to Manage alarms, you can use the new bell alarm button to create an alarm directly from any monitoring graph.

This is a shortcut to the Create alarm dialog with the metric selected already.

The platform will display your VM alarm values as a dashed line on the monitoring graph.

The platform can display alarm values on multiple graphs simultaneously.

To view the exact values of a metric, hover over a graph line to display a tooltip with the values.

We have added these changes to the Virtual appliance Monitoring section as well as the VM Monitoring popup. For example, users will need an alarm privilege to access the Create alarm button.

And finally, the color of the line representing each VM in each graph is kept consistent across the monitoring graphs.
