I’ve just commited a patch to enable the use of Hawkeye under Apache. You’ll need to setup Apache as per the wiki.
I also think I may have fixed the double-login issue that was occurring, where you’d have to enter your login information twice before you could gain access to Hawkeye. If you’re still getting this problem, email me/comment so I know I still have some more work to do. Otherwise, hooray!
Now, to utilize the exposed user-management interface!
Note for packagers: Fix src/www/bongo.conf.in to use similar values as those from wiki.
We now have a shiny new admin panel in trunk, commited last night! Woohoo!
Since we all love pictures, here’s one of the login:
Thanks to so_solid for fixing my nasty Mac OS line endings, and some of my Python coding.
After spending a few days tweaking the Hawkeye layout, it seems to be coming along rather nicely. Here’s a before and after, the left being the mockup, the other the current implementation (in Epiphany):
The Python code calculating the current memory usage is a nice touch. Plus it works fairly well in most browsers, such as IE7, Firefox, Opera, Epiphany, and Konqueror, unless you’re running IE6, which we discovered looked completely yucky (thanks Jonny).
It should also be simple enough to fully deck out the admin interface with the different tasks - the real issue is going to be getting agent pages dynamically entered into the system, and possibly getting the task group panes fixed up a bit more by sorting them into a tile view.
I’ll hold off on a patch until tomorrow, when I can hopefully get one or two more issues sorted, then hopefully post it to -devel.
A final thanks to Alex Hudson for adding me to the Planet - and to the Bongo devs for working on such a great product!
