RHEA-2016:1679 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

New cockpit-ovirt packages introduce a cockpit integration and a webadmin UI plugin.

Description

Cockpit is a Linux system administration tool with a web UI, easy setup, and minimal system footprint at runtime. When installed on hosts in Red Hat Virtualization, it provides monitoring and management functions beyond those available in the Administration Portal. The cockpit-ovirt package is installed by default on Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH).

Changes to the RFEs component:

• Virtual machine monitoring and basic tuning and troubleshooting of hypervisors can be done through the Cockpit user interface. The cockpit package is installed by default for Red Hat Virtualization Host (RHVH) and is a technology preview feature and requires an optional installation for standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts. The cockpit-ovirt RPM is available in the standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux host repositories. (BZ#1329104)
