Autoexpand nodes in Web UI

[c.weilguny]

Hi Forum,

stupid simple question. It's like when you pass by what you are searching in the supermarket ten times and then an employee of the market points at the obvious item. So maybe you can point me there: Is there an option or config, so the nodes are expanded when I open the web UI? That's the first thing I do after login, would be nice if Proxmox does this for me

Cheers

Hey,

My Setting -> Guest Nodes (left bottom corner), should do the trick.

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi Hannes, thanks for your help! In my interface that reads "Guest Notes" (with a lower T). Either that's a typo and it doesn't work (it's set to "Show by default" on my server but nodes are not expanded), or it means something else.

Hey,

I'm sorry. You're right, it actually is for Guest Notes, not nodes. To your initial question, a node is expanded by default if at least one guest in that node is active. Currently there is no possibility to change that behavior.

However, you can submit a feature request to Bugzilla.

Hm, I have a test setup with a single guest in a single node, nothing is expanded. Also in a setup with two nodes, both nodes stay folded after login. But thanks for your help, no big deal at all.

At least one guest is running and the node is still not expanded?

 

[c.weilguny]

Yep. I only see this in the tree on the left:

Datacenter
    |_ node1

There are active guests in node1, they show as active/running on the Datacenter Search page (the one that is opened after login). But I have to expand node1 by click.

It worked for me because I didn't clear the URL, and URL contains information about which guest should be shown in the detail section. And if a guest is shown in the detail section the node is expanded.

If you didn't already, a setting to control the default behaviour could be submitted as a feature request to Bugzilla.
