Entity Configuration Management
Summary
This feature allows the administrator to create, modify and delete the configuration parameters at entity level. With this the administrator can create set of configuration parameters specific to an entity as key value pair and at a later stage the same can be modified or deleted as well.
Currently all the entities maintain its own ways for maintenance of configurations. This feature would standardize the way the configurations are maintained for entities. On top of this generic way for maintenance of configurations, the specific entities maintenance options can optionally have mechanism for modification and deletion of the configurations.

Detailed Description
Currently the individual entity options provide its own ways for maintenance of configuration parameters, and there is no standardization available for the same. The proposed design introduces a standard and common mechanism for maintenance of configuration parameters for different entities in oVirt engine.
With this feature the user will be able to
- Create a new configuration parameter for an entity in common UI of Entity Configuration Management
- Update the value of existing configuration parameter in common UI of Entity Configuration Management
- Delete an existing configuration parameter in common UI of Entity Configuration Management
- Update/Delete the the configuration parameters in entity specific UI screens
Design
The Entity Configuration Management feature is designed to enable common standard mechanism for maintenance of entity specific configuration parameters. The configuration parameters can later be updated / deleted even from entity specific screens if needed (parameters specific to the entity only can be managed).
Entity Description
The entity description for the generic configuration management system is as below -
| Column name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration Id | UUID | Unique identifier for the configuration parameter |
| Entity Id | UUID | Id of the entity for which the configuration is maintained |
| Configuration Category | String | There could be broad categorization of the configuration parameters |
| Configuration Name | String | Name of the configuration parameter |
| Configuration Value | String | Value of the configuration parameter |
Valid entity types would be evaluated against the Entity Types defined in oVirt engine. The administrator can decide on the categories of the configurations based on entity types.
