Currently only built-in Flask commands run, shell, etc. are available. It can be used to launch development web server, which is now documented in development documentation page. (Redmine issue: #4216)

The logging setup is now more capable and configurable. (Redmine issue: #4216,#3443)

To be more consistent with the rest of the system this patch moves the built-in index page to separate pluggable module. There is still room for improvement by using Jinja2 macro for rendering breadcrumb navigation. Currently it is used only within part of the system. (Redmine issue: #4220,#3443)

Changed coding style to match the rest of the project, added some more configuration options for tweaking authentication modules, like default login/logou redirection targets. (Redmine issue: #3443)

Similarly to timeline module and reporting dashboard view the timeline calculations were implemented for event dashboard view. This required some additional minor tweaking and improvements in overall design. (Redmine issue: #4321)

This module attempts to display the events on a timeline to show event distribution over the period of time. This commit contains initial work, which still needs a lot of improvement before production release. It is nevertheless working. (Redmine issue: #4321)

This new blueprint provides users (admins) with the ability to generate API access keys and use them to access the website. Currently the key generation is restricted only to the administrators, because this feature is considered to be experimental. (Redmine issue: #4366)

Hawat can now track item changes and display them through new changelogs pluggable module. This feature can be used for monitoring changes done on various items like user and group account settings. This patch contains complete work including enhancements of database model. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The maintainer permission is now used as slightly less powerfull administrator. Added permission for any role. It is now enforced wherever possible. Added prototype dump of all registered view permissions, however permission enforced by authorize_item_action callback are missing in the list. (Redmine issue: #3734)

This patch introduces huge amount of work related to Hawat web interface. I was just clicking through the interface and trying to improve everything that popped out at the moment. There are following improvements:

* Enabled DataTable localication plugins.
* Implemented common layout for object management views (list views).
* Redesigned application menu implementation.
* Enhanced application menu to support contextual item action menus in listing tables. All administration list views now use it to generate contextual action toolbars.
* Menu object is now used even to generate breadcrumb menus.
* Simplified working with view icons and their propagation into action menus.
* Implemented AJAX spinner and used AJAX to fetch raw report data to web interface. There is stil a lot of room for improvements, the idea is for the user to be able to inteligently browse through the loaded data in some way.
* Redesigned object administration views (users, groups, filters, networks).
* Cleaned up list of built-in icons.
* Improved web interface translations after the changes in this commit.
* Fixed the bug in serving report data files.

(Redmine issue: #3734,#3443)

This way it will be similar to implementation of reports dashboard, which is also in reports blueprint. (Redmine issue: #3734)

(Redmine issue: #3734)

This commit introduces huge amount of work that went into revision of existing Flask-based framework, on top of which the web interface and all of it`s modules are implemented. The process of registering modules and views into the application was greatly simplified (this will be used for further improvements of application menu). Code quality was improved using Pylint and Pyflakes tools. Documentation was improved. Many code features were refactored for performance, optimization and code style reasons. (Redmine issue: #3734,#3443)

(Redmine issue: #3734)

* Made certain texts in the menu hidden on smaller displays, so that the menu does not take two rows.
* Menu reorganization - moved status overviews from MORE section to ADMIN section of menu.
* Minor menu translation tweaks.

(Redmine issue: #3734)

The idea is to provide administrator access to information about the state of the whole database. Current implementation is only a proof of concept and fraction of possible features, they will be implemented in future versions.

(Redmine issue: #3734)

This module is based on the same library as mentat-controller.py and can provide access to following information (non exhaustive list):

* status of real-time modules (runnning, not running, ...)
* status of cronjob modules (enabled, disabled)
* PID file analysis
* log file analysis
* ... and many more

The idea is to provide administrator access to information about the state of the whole system. Current implementation is only a skeleton and fraction of possible features, they will be implemented in future versions.

(Redmine issue: #3734)

The Dashboards module in Hawat user interface now contains prototype implementation for calculating and viewing overall event processing statistics. The module design is based on original Perl-based interface with many enhancements both on the surface (interface) and in the backend code. The work is not yet finished, some of the tasks that remain to be done are:

* Links from data tables to other modules of the interface.
* Missing sorting arrows in data table headers.
* Interface tweaks.
* Chart descriptions and/or help texts.
* Search form tweaks or changes (current implementation is maybe too powerfull for general user).

(Redmine issue: #3734)

The filter management plugable module is now fully implemented. (Redmine issue: #3734)

Rerouted auth_env module from auth to auth_env namespace, made default login view configurable via application configuration.

(Redmine issue: #3734)

(Redmine issue: #3734)

Added better default value for default email sender, commented local Hawat configuration file. (Redmine issue: #3734)

(Redmine issue: #3387)

(Redmine issue: #3734)

Users may now choose prefered locale, which will be used for application language localization and datetime formating. (Redmine issue: #3734)

Users may now choose prefered timezone, which will be used when displaying time data. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The module contains all CRUDL views, forms and templates to enable network record management. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The module contains all CRUDL views, forms and templates to enable reporting filter management. (Redmine issue: #3734)

The module contains all CRUDL views, forms and templates to enable group management. (Redmine issue: #3734)

For better differentiation between future authentication modules. (Redmine issue: 3734)

PostgreSQL migration: Reimplemented DBAL, authentication layer and user management modules in Hawat.

Base on the previous work the DBAL in Hawat was reimplemented to use the new mentat.services.sqlstorage module and sqlalchemy backend. The authentication layer was rewritten to use the new dabase interface. The user management plugin was rewritten to use new database interface.

This commit represents huge amount of work and introduces new Python-based version of Hawat web user interface for Mentat system. It is built on top of the great Flask framework. Currently it is still work in progress and many features are implemented only as dummy stubs, however the core functionality is almost finished. Following is a list of current key features:

  * Focus on modular architecture using Flask`s blueprint feature.
  * Multi-layered configurability (defaults, multiple file overrides).
  * Plugin system.
  * Internationalization support.
  * Support for multiple authentication systems.

This commit provides working albeit hollow starting point for future web interface development. IT IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USAGE!!!
