PowerVS: Dashboard for VM update history

Currently, to check a VM’s update history, users must navigate to the Events tab and search through logs. This process can be cumbersome, and even with search functionality, it’s not always easy to retrieve all relevant entries. Additionally, the Events tab has a limit of 400 logs, which means changes made to the VM after deployment may not be visible.

Introducing a dedicated dashboard for VM update history inside the VM details page would allow users to:

·        Quickly view all changes made to a VM.

·        Simplify multi-VM management.

·        Improve failure analysis by correlating issues with specific updates.

·        Support better planning for customers.

This option can be provided in all the supported powerVS interfaces.
