Abstract
A device that generates suggested command completions for a distributed storage system is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a command token from a management client, wherein the command token is a partial command for the distributed storage system. In addition, the device retrieves a plurality of complete commands for the distributed storage system; wherein one of the plurality of complete commands includes a parameter based on a current configuration of the distributed storage system. The device further determines a subset of the plurality of complete commands that match the command token. The device sends the subset of the plurality of complete commands to the management client.
Claims17
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having executable instructions to cause one or more processing units to perform a method to generate suggested command completions for a distributed storage system, the method comprising:
- determining a start of a client session for the management client;
- in response to the determining,
- retrieving the current configuration of the distributed storage system, and
- generating the plurality of complete commands using the current configuration;
- receiving a command token from a management client, wherein the command token is a partial command for the distributed storage system;
- retrieving the plurality of complete commands for the distributed storage system, wherein at least one of the plurality of complete commands includes a command text and a parameter based on a current configuration of the distributed storage system;
- determining a subset of the plurality of complete commands that match the command token;
- and
- sending the subset of the plurality of complete commands to the management client, wherein the management client displays the subset of the plurality of complete commands.
A method to generate suggested command completions for a distributed storage system, the method comprising:
- determining a start of a client session for the management client;
- in response to the determining,
- retrieving the current configuration of the distributed storage system, and
- generating the plurality of complete commands using the current configuration;
- receiving a command token from a management client, wherein the command token is a partial command for the distributed storage system;
- retrieving the plurality of complete commands for the distributed storage system, wherein at least one of the plurality of complete commands includes a command text and a parameter based on a current configuration of the distributed storage system;
- determining a subset of the plurality of complete commands that match the command token;
- and
- sending the subset of the plurality of complete commands to the management client, wherein the management client displays the subset of the plurality of complete commands.
A system that generates suggested command completions for a distributed storage system, the method comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor though a bus;
- and
- a process executed from the memory by the processor that causes the processor to receive a command token from a management client, wherein the command token is a partial command for the distributed storage system, determine a start of a client session for the management client, in response to the determining, retrieving the current configuration of the distributed storage system, and generating the plurality of complete commands using the current configuration, retrieve the plurality of complete commands for the distributed storage system, wherein at least one of the plurality of complete commands includes a command text and a parameter based on a current configuration of the distributed storage system, determine a subset of the plurality of complete commands that match the command token, and send the subset of the plurality of complete commands to the management client, wherein the management client displays the subset of the plurality of complete commands.
