Research direction

Start at Tools > Usage and trace the badge next to the server name in the Usage Dashboard, then find the localization entry for label.usageislocal.tooltip. Add the suggested explanatory tooltip and verify that hovering over the badge clarifies that it indicates whether Usage runs on the same instance as the Management Server.

Description

component:UI long-term-plan type:improvement

Image

On the Usage Dashboard, the badge next to the server name (see image above) may be interpreted as showing whether the server is Online (green) or Offline (red).

However, this is not what it represents. The badge actually indicates whether the Usage service is running on the same instance as the Management Server serving the UI.

As a quick improvement, we could add a tooltip to clarify this when hovering over the badge.

Suggestion:

"label.usageislocal.tooltip": "Indicates whether the Usage Server runs on the same instance as this Management Server"
