| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| View list of all NDS Environments | Note: This is the "NDS Environments Summary" page. This is the entry page after log in. User sees a summary list of all the previously created NDS Environments and their status. Note: An Environment is considered to be running if its OpenStack Instances are running (Service status is not considered for this). |
| Show the NDS Environment page for a specific Environment | Note: This is the "NDS Environment" page. User clicks on one of the NDS Environments from the summary list page and a NDS Environment page is returned that lists all the services that are available, along with whether or not the service is running. This page also contains all other details about the Environment. A number of actions can be performed from this page, such as starting and stopping services, viewing logs, etc., that are described in other use cases. |
| Create a new NDS Environment | User selects an option to create a new NDS Environment. User is presented with a page that lists all of the defined services. User selects which services from the list that should be started in the new Environment. User specifies a number of other required parameters/attributes for the new Environment, e.g.:
User hits the launch button, which:
|
| Show the logs for a NDS Service | From the NDS Environment page: User can click on a specific Service to see the logs associated with that Service. |
| View NDS Service Information | From the NDS Environments page: User can click to see more detailed information about a Service, such as:
Note: This is analogous to a man page for each NDS Service. |
| Start NDS Service | From the NDS Environment page: User can click on a specific Service to start that Service in that Environment. |
| Stop NDS Service | From the NDS Environment page: User can click on a specific (running) Service to stop that Service in that Environment. |
| Stop NDS Environment | From the NDS Environments Summary page: User can click to stop the OpenStack Instances associated with the selected Environment. |
| Destroy NDS Environment | From the NDS Environments Summary page: User can click to delete the OpenStack Instances associated with the selected Environment. Note: This deletes OpenStack Instances, but not OpenStack Volumes (user data). |
| Destroy NDS Volumes | From the NDS Environments Summary page: User can click to destroy the OpenStack Volumes associated with the selected Environment. Note: This deletes the user data associated with the Environment. |
| Log in | This will not be implemented for the initial prototype. User enters userid and password to log into NDS Explorer web app. Use a hard-coded userid and password for the initial prototype. Note: This is not the OpenStack userid/password. |
| Log out | This will not be implemented for the initial prototype. |
| Create Account | This will not be implemented for the initial prototype. |
| Delete Account | This will not be implemented for the initial prototype. |
| Reset Password | This will not be implemented for the initial prototype. |
| Maintain User Authorizations | This will not be implemented for the initial prototype. Keeps list of user account to authorized environment mapping. User is always authorized for the Environments that the user creates. |
Notes:
- User must be properly authorized for most of these functions, but for the initial prototype, just assume ignore authorization checking.
