POST codes logs and real-time indicators

[ParishrutB]

Use Case

For POST codes logs
As a PE/SSR/Admin, I need a log of everything that loaded or happened during the boot process, or other processes such as Dumps, so that I can troubleshoot (identify/resolve) an issue that happened during it.

For real-time indicators
As a PE/SSR/Admin, I need to be able to the POST codes update in real-time while troubleshooting a process (Boot, Dump etc.).

Invision Prototype Guidance

The Invision prototypes have hot spots allowing the reviewer to step through the workflow. To navigate a prototype, you can:

1. Click on the page and the hotspots will be revealed in blue
2. Use the arrow-right and arrow-left keys on your keyboard

Design Review Workflow

1. Each design iteration will have a comment section
2. The section will include:
   • A title with the iteration number
   • Any description or specific feedback the designer is requesting
   • Screenshots of the workflow
3. Based on community and user feedback, we create a comment for the new iteration and repeat these steps

Iteration 1

Hello everyone, this is the current iteration for POST codes - both logs and real-time indicators.
POST codes shown will either be ASCII codes or HEX codes depending on the machine's backend implementation.

Main page

• Key action 1: "View real-time indicators in new window" open the real-time indicators in a new window.
• Key action 2: "Export all POST code logs" exports all the POST code logs (even ones which are not visible in the list) to a JSON file.
• Note: Row actions are "Export log" and "Download additional data". The latter will be shown only in case an AdditionalDataURI can be downloaded for that log.

Real-time indicators window

Table batch actions

"Download additional data" is not provided as a batch action as their would be performance limitations to do that for a bunch of rows together.

Can we use a a more common terminology than "POST"? How about "Boot Progress"? This is more consistent with industry standard terminology such as Redfish (see "BootProgress" property in https://redfish.dmtf.org/schemas/v1/ComputerSystem_v1.xml). Also, Arm servers define a "Boot Progress" code that is 64-bits, derived form UEFI Status Codes (See https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0069/latest, Appendix F)
