Description

#1686 introduced an improvement to displaying referenced objects in Event Logs by replacing their UUIDs by strings like "directive(Directive's Name)" or "group(All SLES)" or "directive(Configure Time Settings)" or node(49ee7b99-00f5-466a-880a-d2cf27010055).

This display is clearly not satisfactory - one is not trying to practice reading code when looking at event logs.

These labels should be changed as follows:
  • directive(Directive's Name) --> Directive "Directive's Name" (UUID: <uuid>)
  • rule(Rule name) --> Rule "Rule name (UUID: <uuid>)
  • group(All SLES) --> Group "All SLES (UUID: <uuid>)
  • node(49ee7b99-00f5-466a-880a-d2cf27010055) --> Node "<hostname>" (UUID: 49ee7b99-00f5-466a-880a-d2cf27010055)

In each case, the object's name should be a clickable link to display that exact object in the web browser.

As we use "Rudder ID" everywhere else in the webapp, what do you think of using "Rudder ID" instead of "UUID"?

for the same reason, UUIDs should be displayed as uppercase.

There is no Rule referenced in the event logs so the changes would be :

  • directive(Directive's Name) --> Directive "Directive's Name" (Rudder ID: <UUID>)
  • group(All SLES) --> Group "All SLES" (Rudder ID: <UUID>)
  • node(49ee7b99-00f5-466a-880a-d2cf27010055) --> Node "<hostname>" (Rudder ID: 49EE7B99-00F5-466A-880A-D2CF27010055)

With links on the name, not on the ID
