Screenshot Gallery
Here are some sample screenshots from the management system as we develop it.
-
Zentific Dashboard
This is the main dashboard of Zentific. It dynamically lists all virtual machines running on all of the physical machines (dom0s) that you have configured. On the right hand side we show a dynamically updated graph of CPU usage on each virtual machine. You can perform some basic operations such as starting, stopping, rebooting and pausing the virtual machines directly from here. If you click an entry it will take you to the configuration page shown above.
-
Status Panel
This is a status panel to give you fast access to all sorts of relevant information about a virtual machine. This page has dynamically updated graphs of bandwidth usage, I/O statistics, CPU usage, etc, as collected over a period of time. They are all displayed in dynamic graphs so that you can interpret them quickly.
As you can see on all of the virtual machine detail pages, we keep the basic operations such as start, shutdown, pause, and even connecting to a console to log in all within easy access across the top of the page.
-
VNC Console (Running Windows XP)
This is a Java applet that accesses the VNC console provided by Xen. You need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and the Java Plugin for your web browser to run this, but you do not need to have a JVM installed on the server. This is a purely client side application. All connections are made over an SSL encrypted socket to protect the integrity of your data.
-
Configuration
This is a screenshot of the configuration panel for a single virtual machine (domU). It is populated with information retrieved from Xen about the different properties of the machine, as well as actions and preferences assigned to the machine within the Zentific interface.
-
AJAX Console
Zentific has an integrated AJAX application for accessing the console of any running virtual machine. This console runs off of AJAX so that you can access your machines without a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed on your browser.
-
VNC Console
This is another VNC console demonstration using the Java applet to connect with a the text console of a virtual machine. The interface is operating system agnostic and provides access to anything that Xen can run directly from the web page.
-
Event Log Manager
All important events on the system generate log entries in Zentific. This is a screenshot of the information stored about a given virtual machine for a given past period of time. This is updated dynamically as well using AJAX.
-
Maintenance Panel
This is the maintenance panel for a particular virtual machine. This is where you can perform tasks that may take a long time, such as migrating a virtual machine between physical machines, performing disk integrity checks, creating snapshots or making and restoring backups.
Operations here can be started, and you can continue to use this interface while they are performed. Upon completion, you are alerted that the operation is complete. You can also choose to cancel most operations while they are in progress.
