Add filtering to 'state-overview' endpoint

Issue Type:	New Feature
Assignee:	Unassigned

Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Karel Brezina

Add support for filtering by facts to '/pdb/ext/v1/state-overview' endpoint.

State Overview (PE Console) displays number of nodes in each status category. When a fact filter is applied it displays number of nodes in each category that match the fact filter. That's why the "filtering by facts in state-overview" is needed.

Re: Add filtering to 'state-overview' endpoint

Our filtering implementation is very CM-specific and will change every release. I think we need to solve this in a more general fashion. I'm not sure exactly how but if /v1/state-overview could take a additional constraints in the form of a subquery, could that work?

In an ideal world this endpoint could apply the filter criteria we specify directly in the DB, but at the scale we're talking about it isn't unfeasible to ask the /v4/nodes endpoint for the statuses and calculate the aggregates ourselves. That would depend on PDB-1820. I'd put that ticket about this one, and put this one on the long finger for a time when we're sure we have a performance problem.
