Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has created any dynamic web pages to make more user-friendly Edda web pages.  For example, we'd like to have a web page that goes through the supported AWS resource types and pull out the resources for a particular application (which we identify via tagging).  We'd then like to create a page depicting all of the resources.  I know Symantec is looking into this but their code is not yet available.  I've looked at VivaGraph and it seems straightforward but calling Edda and processing the data is new for me.  It looks like Javascript might be a good choice for this effort but I'm not an experienced web developer.  Any examples would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi James,

Creating a UI has been on my TODO list for a while now, but I have not
had time yet. It is not a core requirement for Edda, most uses are
from automated programs, so it has been low priority, but I agree it
would definately be nice to have. I would expect a javascript UI
using something like JQuery would make the most sense and be the
easiest to implement, but "web developer" is far from my favorite hat
to wear.

I would be estatic to have an open-source contribution for Edda to
give a useful UI, but barring that I still have it on my TODO list but
no ETA unfortunately.

Thanks,
-Cory

Symantec have not been very forthcoming (I emailed the author of that article though I can't find the link now), so I was going to do this as part of my Cloud Prize project this summer -- in addition to my regular pull requests to Edda.

I'm not real sure if this should be mainlined to edda (I think so) or a separate project.  Thoughts?  I will be using AngularJS for the MVVM framework and hope to incorporate some usage of D3.js also wherever I can jam in some cool visualizations.

Hi Ralph,

It sounds like a good Prize contribution, I will help any way I can.
We would definitely be interested in adding the code to the mainline.
I dont have any recommendations for technology, so if you think
AngularJS and D3 will work, then go for it :)

I look forward to seeing the progress. Thanks!

Hello,

I was hoping to put a basic web page on our Edda server in order to provide some instructions and sample queries.  I've looked up some Jetty documentation but can't seem to figure out how to add a static website to the EDDA implementation.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks.

You can put static content in src/main/webapp

for example:
$ mkdir src/main/webapp/test
$ echo "<html><body>hi</body><html>" > src/main/webapp/test/hello.html
$ ./gradlew jettyRun

[ in different shell now: ]
<html><body>hi</body><html>

hi James,

I am new to edda and just gone through the API calls.. i was wondering if you got any GUI for this.

I saw a video on you tube "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1hkGwnIiMY" related to edda demo... where the author is showing some nice UI.

Please let me know if you got any GUI for this...

Appreciate your help.

Thanks & Regards,
Navaza Khan
