+Title: Cockpit Multi-Server Dashboard
+Date: 2014-11-04
+Category: Cockpit
+Tags: cockpit, kubernetes
+
+Andreas and Marius have been working on implementing a new multi-server dash
+board for Cockpit. It's really looking great.
+
+The goal here is that the dash board should work with either one server or several,
+and give you an overview of what's going on. Problems that require attention should
+be highlighted clearly. You should be able to click in spots to jump either to a
+server, a sub-system, a service/container/pod or to the source of a problem.
+
+The graphs will be correlated across multiple machines, and draggable. Hopefully down
+road we'll be using a source of data like [PCP](http://www.performancecopilot.org/) to
+gather the data more consistently. Problems will show up on the graphs as clickable.
+You can add and remove servers, and we want to show the state of important services/server
+applications/pods on those servers.
+
+Once the basic code has landed, it would be good to tie this into Kubernetes as well.
+If running a [Kubernetes](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes) cluster,
+and Cockpit is loaded on the master, we should use information from Kubernetes to
+populate the dashboard.
