Wouldn’t it make sense to see information about running background activities in HA (like snapshots, updates, etc.) where you can track what happens in the background?
Didn’t you sometimes have the same problems?
- When creating a snapshot I was often wondering later if I really triggered the snapshot from Supervisor UI. I had to check the logs again and again if the snapshot creation is really in process. Suddenly the new snapshot appeared.
- When updating an add-on the UI just showed the busy indicator / hourglass (or how is it called in English?). But you don’t exactly know the status for some time and it seems that nothing is happening.
I trust that there are also other significant background activities in HA which cause quite some load on the hardware.
Opportunities, if you can track the background activities:
- you can offer a nice UI in frontend to see all activities at a glance.
- within the relevant application (e.g. Supervisor > Snapshots) you can display additional information about current background activity, such as status.
- you can also offer to display the logs only related to this background activity (e.g. for troubleshooting).
