"Quota limit has been reached" gets easily misunderstood / ignored

[maxandersen]

I've been running with quotas for a while now and I keep getting mislead with the "Quota limit has been reached" - I keep thinking the system is wrong as I read it as "Quota limit has been exceeded" AND that I should do something about it.

If it was memory or disk size then sure - it might be useful to know, but for the case of using 2 volumes out of 2 then that is not really something as a user I need to be told on every load of the console. Especially since it makes me ignore the message when/if an Actual resource issue warning happens.

Version

3.5

Steps To Reproduce

1. Have all resources of some type used (like volume mounts)
2. See a sticky warning on top in your console

Current Result

This is shown in my console always, even though there are no actual issue.

Expected Result

Don't show me a Warning (yellow triangle) when I'm simply just using the resources made available to me.

i.e. using 2 out of 2 volume mounts is a normal thing, not a warning.
For disk and memory usage it is different - i.e. if I'm trending towards using all 1GB memory I would like to know - but for volumes it is more misleading than informative.

This will be greatly improved by openshift/origin-web-console#2116

• Quota notifications are put in a notification drawer and are less intrusive.
• We've added separate notifications for each quota type instead of one generic warning.
• When you're at quota and not over, it's an info message instead of a warning.
• The usage and max is displayed in the notification message.
• You can say "Don't Show Me Again" per quota type.
• Administrators can add custom messages to the quota warning.

I think this addresses most issues you raise. Let us know!
