Bug Description

Hi,

we're about to use OpenStack more and more in production, and when finally fully migrated, we'll have 50+ compute nodes, however, one thing we are really really missing is some "description" field/column in the list of existing instances.

This might also require a new database field, ideally, I know, and yet, this is a really demanding feature, requested by our devs (who are actually the users of the cloud) :-)

I also think that might be a great addition and helpful to more people, too.

Regards,
Christian Parpart.

p.s.: please tell me if this is NOT the proper way to raise feature requests.

Hey Christian, there is no support for that currently, although you can give the instances "names". As a work around, you could give them unique names that are more descriptive.

However, as a feature request, I would suggest you change the "affects project" to Nova, since it would need to be supported there before we could expose the data in Horizon.

This is a reasonably request, but it's been about 9 months without anyone working on it. I'm going to move it into "Opinion / Wishlist" which is a queue of older requests. This can be reopened later if someone is interested in working on it. Thanks!

too sad, in fact, I just don't speak with pythons so I could have added it myself, but well..... yeah. too sad.
