Re: [jopr-dev] request for comments - timeline view
I think we're confusing the names of our internal modules with the
terminology that a user will think about. Yes, we have a very specific
events subsystem, but I never thought of the events tab as being
exclusive to that subsystem. The user doesn't care about the internal
workings, they just want to look at "events" on a resource. I think that
can include all alerts, and operations and other subsystem events in
addition to our internal event management mechanism.
Not that I don't like the idea of a summary page... In fact it was one
of the recommendations of our UI review. But then my other concern would
be getting summaries of the other pages displayed (probably in a
multi-columnar layout) and the fact that the timeline isn't yet
historically browsable.

i still like the separate tab idea better. i want to emphasize again
that the timeline view isn't just events, it's for display data from
multiple subsystems simultaneously. the timeline view didn't feel
right when it lived as a child under the monitor tab, and i guess it
doesn't feel right living as a child under the events tab either.
svn up and take a look at the resource browser; it's much cleaner
right now. since only a few resources actually implement the event
facet, the 'e' icon doesn't show up very often, which is a huge
benefit to the "mica" icons in the first place.
how about an entirely different strategy. greg, you know how we were
thinking of mimicking the embedded console by providing a landing
page. why don't we have a "Summary" tab that provides quick info
about the resource, but where the timeline view will also live. this
way, we'll 1) have consistent navigation for subcategories (and
subsubcategories) because their default click action from the nav tree
would hit this new summary tab, and 2) we'll have a perfect spot for
the timeline page which due to the fact that it encompasses data from
all different subsystems is a rather good fit for a summary view.
