yea, it happens, sometimes when I do not wait for auto suggested options to pop up before I hit enter.

These errors would depend on the specific search you do. Can you record exactly what you were searching? If we know what specific search text will reproduce it, we can fix it. Also it would help to have the traceback from production.log.
There are a lot of “common text fields”, like “ipv4 address”, “datacenter”, “location”, “subnet”, “build duration”, “host owner”.
I wonder, if it would be possible to have a list of these common fields, which would then be available in “Manage Columns” so that users can select “build duration” and the field would appear in the host overview page and just display the text.

you could do for any query, for example in subnets page or hosts page, I search for something in search field fast and if the suggestions don’t load during that time , I see this error:
That error is in any place where we can do a free search, it only happens if I don’t wait for suggestions.
and then there is a weirder thing with this new UI, if I search for lets say “os = CentOS“ in hosts page and lets say if there 2 pages from that result. now if I go to page-2 the search goes away and I get a entirely different result. To circumvent this I have to edit out the url to show me all hosts from my result in a single page.
That should be fixed by Fixes #38858 - Fix search query cleared on bottom pagination by jeremylenz · Pull Request #10772 · theforeman/foreman · GitHub which was just merged

woohoo ! I was also looking at why the hosts page takes looong to load, is it loading all hosts on all pages at a time ? from the developer tools view I do see that it loads all hosts in a single call…. that is kinda making the hosts page load slow.
and while hosts UI page is loading, if I do a quick search like “banana” in search feild, I do get a matching host but then again search goes away fast and it presents me with all hosts… maybe I see the result of the 1st request results ?

thanks Bernhard, this looks like exactly what I’d hoped ‘1.0’ of the new interface would look like, the new web components doing the work, but retaining the old very usable data, such as the compliance / sync status and the formatting much tidier.

Thanks for the feedback, I’m looking into bringing some of the bulk actions from the legacy page into the new hosts page. While it seems some actions are definitely needed, we’re not sure if we want to add the edit parameters bulk actions. If anyone in this thread could provide some feedback it will be appreciated, thanks!
Feedback request post: Host bulk edit parameters, do you use it?
we are already working on the “change power state” method. Should be finished soon.

Puppet Bulk Actions are on our plate, too.

When we bring back all the bulk actions can we bring them back not as unsorted list? In earlier (other would say ancient) versions the list had categories which made it much more user friendly.

At least for Puppet we are planning to do this

The order of menu items in the list is determined by the design and the code. In other words, it’s not random. If you see something that doesn’t make sense about the order, please open a specific bug (preferably with screenshots.)
I can not confirm this. If I set “Entries per page” on the Settings to “20”, it will load only the data of this 20 hosts.
I thought we were talking about ordering of the kebab menu items? I’m not sure I follow.
In “my” part of the thread yes, but Bernhard answered to Sid’s complain above about the performance of the page and his guess it always loads all data.

Hi everyone,
I just opened a MR to add bulk power state functionality to the new host overview page.It would be great if you could take a look and share your feedback.

yea, I think you are correct, for me the host page loads, too slow, I guess thats because of too many facts ? is there a way to speed up the host page load ? I have an api call to grab hosts page and that call takes around 11 min for 8000 hosts……
