Expose pcap path

Open alfred-landrum opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

It'd be useful to display the pcap's path for spaces with pcaps. I can think of a couple places we might do this:

  • As part of hover text on the shark icon, if the icon is not greyed out.
  • As part of some type of summary view for a space, that has other info (# of records, size on disk, etc)

One user's opinion: It seems like the summary view for a Space could be nice to show as hover text when the mouse pointer is over the Space name in the Space picker. An explicit right-click option labeled "Properties" or equivalent might also be appropriate to pop up in a format where the info could be cut & pasted etc.

@jameskerr @mason-fish: I came across this one while scrubbing old issues. I know we've been thinking about additional info to include in the pool summary page, so maybe it's relevant now. I know the pcap_path is stored as part of the index in the Brimcap root. Is this information that would be easy to surface?

Cool, yeah that could work.
