Feature #9336
open
Improve display of fact values when values are long strings
Description
We are using custom facts to report on our server estate, for example license keys, UUID values, hardware vendors, etc. There's even a default fact of 'sshdsakey' which is good for demonstrating this feature request.
Example facts might be:
custom_license=HJDW-JWDD-YAPX-SDWA-WHWW-QSQQ-LEZC-MOOW-ASDA-LPWD
custom_uuid=4239A351-1DSB-DD61-E123-1C1AAADFBFF12C-ASD-SDS-WW-DD
sshdsakey=AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MsdAAACBAKJ4T9RXu0A1roWJgHkvjQ2ogGN+kScfF3ir+zqZJBDUN6L8jvJGOvI0AvjgHDEc8cp0+pZYJlXYeG/iLbR2wSp7VTR5WsGs8BaNl+Cr3BqBK7y6GujOH9
Foreman shows about the first 37 or so characters when displaying facts under Monitor -> Facts. However, it's not easy to select the full values of the facts.
When the fact is a long value, could we wrap the text within the cell so that it's displayed within the report and easy to select with a mouse click?
So rather than:
Host Name Value host1 sshdsakey AAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI0lSZxUr19SJYxWc... host2 sshdsakey AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI1HmMbcT9x0CpXK5... host3 sshdsakey AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI3q/PnqB8KGE1l/B...
The page might look like:
Host Name Value
host1 sshdsakey AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI0lSZxUr19SJYxWcKASDASDSDSDS
KSDNSDJNCNSNCDJCNDJNSDWWDWDWDD
host2 sshdsakey AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI1HmMbcT9x0CpXKASDWECSCSCSCS
ASDSVDVKOVDOKDVR*u8duvdu88ASCD
host3 sshdsakey AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAI3q/PnqB8KGE1l/BASDASDCSASCS

Hi,
I'm not sure that this is a duplicate of 9194 - this bug was really about presenting facts with long names in a single web page without the need to drill down on each host.
I've attached two screenshots showing the current and desired state. (Current being Katello 2.2 RC2 / Foreman 1.8.0-1.el7)
Richard.

Fair enough, reopened. #9194 only adds a per-item drilldown I think.

Just wondering if this feature might be considered for inclusion in a near term release? It would be really helpful for us to view these long facts in Foreman.
