Implements the configurable system-wide homepage dashboard (NMS-19851) on the Vue 3 + PrimeVue /ui stack, reaching feature parity with the legacy JSP homepage and adding configurability on top. Reachable at ui/#/dashboard; a beta button on the legacy homepage links to it.

  • Edit mode: drag/resize/add/remove/rename/collapse panels on a 12-column grid, per-panel options, global timeframe and auto-refresh with pause, full-screen NOC mode, and reset-to-default.
  • One system-wide layout persisted via the new /api/v2/dashboard endpoints (JsonStore kv-store); per-user layouts are a future step.
  • Panels cover the legacy front page (pending situations/alarms/outages, status donuts, availability, regional map, business services, notifications, news, resource graphs, KSC reports, quick search) plus new Notes, HTML Content, Top N and Metric Chart panels.
  • Panel titles, availability category rows and donut slices deep-link to the corresponding legacy pages.
  • Verified end to end against a local 37.x instance: layout persistence round-trip, live panel data, dark mode, full screen, and the deep links.

…stence backend)

Adds a configurable, PrimeVue-based Vue 3 dashboard under /ui (route
/dashboard) to begin replacing the legacy JSP homepage, plus the REST
endpoint to persist its layout.

Frontend (ui/):
- Panel framework: registry, Pinia store, default layout, PanelFrame chrome
  (PrimeVue Panel), and a sample panel. Panels receive resolved filter /
  timeframe / refresh contracts.
- DashboardGrid uses grid-layout-plus for drag + resize (edit mode only);
  geometry flows grid -> store, add/remove/collapse flow store -> grid.
- Toolbar: global timeframe, refresh interval + pause (NMS-4404), add panel,
  save/edit; per-panel collapse/rename/remove.
- Global filter control (NMS-10507): surveillance categories + IP match.
- dashboardService talks to /api/v2/dashboard/system (404 -> built-in default).

Backend (opennms-webapp-rest):
- DashboardRestApi / DashboardRestService: GET/PUT /api/v2/dashboard/system,
  persisting one system-wide JSON layout document via JsonStore.

Addresses NMS-11946 (collapse/rearrange/hide) and lays groundwork for
NMS-4433 (new panel types). Future: per-user / named dashboards reuse the
same layout document by varying its scope.
…rview, nodes with alarms)

Replaces the placeholder default layout with three panels matching the legacy
homepage boxes:
- Notifications: outstanding-notice counts from /rest/notifications/summary.
- Status Overview: Chart.js doughnut of alarm counts by severity, read from
  /api/v2/alarms totalCount per severity (FIQL alarm.severity==).
- Nodes with Pending Alarms: alarms grouped by node with count + max severity.

Adds a shared severity util (ordering, labels, OpenNMS-standard colors) and a
notificationService. Panels refetch on the global refresh tick.
- Status Overview now shows BOTH legacy doughnuts (alarms + outages), sourced
  from /api/v2/status/summary/nodes/{alarms,outages} (nodes grouped by unacked
  alarms / current outages), replacing the prior alarms-only per-severity count.
- New News Feed panel from /api/v2/newsfeed (title/link/short description/tags).

Adds statusService and newsfeedService; both panels added to the default layout.
- Pending Situations: alarms filtered isSituation==true (/api/v2/alarms), with
  severity, affected-node/alarm counts.
- Nodes with Service Outages: currently-open outages from /api/v2/outages
  (FIQL ifRegainedService==epoch), node + service name.

Adds outageService and situationService; refactors the default layout into a
three-column arrangement (situations/alarms/outages, status overview,
notifications/news) via a small panel() helper.
Leaflet/OSM map (vue-leaflet) replicating the legacy homepage map: geolocated
nodes (/api/v2/nodes assetRecord) with markers colored by each node's highest
alarm severity (derived from /api/v2/alarms). Handles grid resize via
ResizeObserver -> invalidateSize. Added to the registry + default layout.
Match the legacy homepage proportions: 3 / 6 / 3 of the 12-col grid (was even
4/4/4). Left = situations/alarms/outages, center (wide) = status overview + map,
right = notifications/news. Individual panels remain resizable via the grid.
Replicates the legacy "Availability Over the Past 24 Hours" categories box from
GET /rest/availability (RTC category data: outage-text, availability-text,
availability-class). Table of category / outages / availability with an Overall
Service Availability total row; availability colored by class. No new backend
needed. Added to registry + default layout (center column, under Status Overview).
…s) panels

Both replicate the legacy summary boxes from the existing status REST
(/api/v2/status/business-services and /status/applications) — no new backend
needed; the list-with-severity endpoints already exist in StatusRestService.
Shared StatusListPanel renders name + severity badge, filtered to problem
severities (WARNING+). Added to registry + left column of the default layout.
…fullscreen

- Add Quick Search (node id/label/IP -> element/nodeList.htm), and Resource
  Graphs / KSC Reports launcher panels (link to legacy chooser pages; full
  typeahead is a follow-up).
- Default layout now mirrors the legacy homepage column order/positions for
  easy comparison: left = situations/alarms/outages/BSM/apps/news; center =
  status/availability/map; right = notifications/resource-graphs/KSC/quick-search.
- Toolbar: title tooltips on the timeframe + refresh selects (and pause), and a
  Full screen button (Fullscreen API on the dashboard container) for NOC displays.
…titles)

- PanelFrame: make the PrimeVue Panel content wrappers flex to a bounded height
  so fill-height panels (map, charts) size correctly instead of overflowing.
- Regional Status: always renders the map (even with no nodes); remembers pan +
  zoom across reloads via localStorage; empty-state shown as a small pill.
- Status Overview: thicker donuts (cutout 55%) that fit the box (no longer cut).
- Resource Graphs / KSC Reports: drop the redundant in-panel title (the panel
  header already shows it).
- web.xml: Permissions-Policy was fullscreen=() which blocked the Fullscreen API;
  changed to fullscreen=(self). Toolbar fullscreen toggle now also falls back to
  a CSS "maximize" if the API is unavailable.
- DashboardGrid: add bottom padding so the app's fixed copyright bar no longer
  cuts the last panels.
- Dashboard: global style so PrimeVue overlays (teleported to <body>) use the app
  sans-serif font instead of the serif default (fixes combo-box dropdown font).
- Status Overview: donuts resize with the panel (ResizeObserver) and are clipped
  to the box.
…panels

- Per-panel options dialog (gear): height mode + panel-type-specific settings.
- Height mode per panel: 'fixed' (fixed grid height + scrollbar) or 'auto'
  (PanelFrame measures natural content height; DashboardGrid fits the cell, so
  empty list panels shrink to a couple of lines). Auto panels aren't manually
  resizable and their height isn't persisted. Registry defaults match the legacy
  homepage: News Feed / Availability / Status Overview / Regional map = fixed,
  all the list panels = auto.
- New panels: Notes (free text in options) and HTML Content (iframe to a URL;
  same-origin per the frame-src CSP).
…tion)

grid-layout-plus doesn't recompact on programmatic height changes, so auto-height
resizes (and add/remove) could leave panels overlapping. Add our own vertical
compaction (place each item at the lowest non-colliding y in its columns) run
after auto-height changes and reconcile.
…TML URL validation

- Fixed panels now actually bound + scroll: the PrimeVue 4 chain has an extra
  .p-panel-content-wrapper between container and content that wasn't flexed —
  add it. This fixes News Feed/Availability scrollbars AND the Regional map
  (the map now gets a real height and renders tiles even with no nodes).
- Dashboard scrolls internally (flex column; grid is the scroll region) and the
  content chain gets a definite height via :has(#dashboard-root), so a tall
  dashboard no longer overflows past the app footer/copyright bar.
- HTML Content options: validate the URL — external (cross-origin) URLs are
  rejected with an explanation (blocked by frame-src 'self' CSP) before applying.
… whitespace)

Auto panels were clamped to the registry minSize.h, leaving whitespace under
short content (and reserving space visibly in edit mode). Use min-h=1 for
auto-height panels so the cell hugs the measured content.
…meframe)

New 'topn' panel: ranks by a selectable KPI with sort direction and N (options
dialog). Default KPI = Node Response Time (ICMP), descending, N=5. Data via the
measurements API (POST /rest/measurements): enumerate matching resources from
/rest/resources, query one AVERAGE bucket over the resolved timeframe, sort,
take N. KPI registry (topnService) is extensible for more KPIs.
A single range-sized RRD bucket returns NaN; query at ~range/1000 (min 5min)
and average the series for the aggregate.
- PanelFrame now wraps the PrimeVue Panel in a real <div> (frameRef) and measures
  that for auto-height — the component ref didn't reliably expose a DOM node, so
  auto panels never shrank (the leftover whitespace). Auto panels now fit content.
- Panel surface/header/text/border use Feather theme variables
  (--feather-elevation-background-2 / -primary-text-on-surface / -border-on-surface),
  which adapt under .open-dark — so panels are legible in dark mode instead of
  white-with-invisible-text.
…tespace)

Reduce PrimeVue panel header/content padding so short auto panels (Resource
Graphs, KSC, etc.) don't round up to an extra grid row, and run a vertical
compaction pass shortly after mount so columns stack tight once panels report
their auto heights.
…acy->new button

- DashboardGrid: compaction now reassigns the layout with FRESH item objects (and
  vertical-compact enabled) so grid-layout-plus actually re-renders compacted
  positions — removes the leftover gaps in saved layouts (e.g. Resource Graphs/KSC).
- Per-panel "Shade rows by severity" option (legacy-style) for Pending Situations,
  Nodes with Pending Alarms, and Availability — rows tinted by severity.
- Legacy homepage: "Try the new Dashboard (beta)" button below the Quick Search box
  (links to /opennms/ui/#/dashboard).
…ypes backend/combo

- DashboardGrid: grid-layout-plus only re-renders when the layout ARRAY ref/length
  changes (watch on [layout, length]); it ignored in-place h/y mutations. compactLayout
  now ALWAYS reassigns fresh item objects, so auto-height + compaction truly apply
  (this was why the whitespace "did nothing").
- Backend: DashboardRestService gains GET /api/v2/dashboard/service-types (id+name)
  via ServiceTypeDao; rebuilt + deployed the webapp-rest jar.
- Quick Search: "Providing service" combo populated from that endpoint, posting the
  service id to element/nodeList.htm (matches the legacy box).
…dup availability total

Spacing (real fix): switch the grid to pixel units — row-height=1, vertical
margin=0, h measured in px. Auto panels size to exactly their content height plus
a 12px gap (was rounding up to the next ~56px row, which caused the persistent
whitespace). Fixed panels fill the cell minus that 12px gap. Old/default layouts
(h in ~44px row units) are auto-converted to px on load.

Linking parity with the legacy front page:
- Panel titles deep-link (Situations/Alarms -> alarm/list.htm, Outages ->
  outage/list.htm, Applications -> application/index.jsp, Availability ->
  rtc/index.jsp, Notifications -> notification/index.jsp, Resource Graphs ->
  graph/index.jsp, KSC -> KSC/index.jsp). Plain text while in edit mode so the
  header stays a drag handle.
- Availability category names link to rtc/category.jsp (outage detail).

Availability: render the REST "Total" section's "Overall Service Availability"
row as the bold total instead of appending our own computed row (removes the
duplicate).

Legacy homepage "Try the new Dashboard" button: blue -> light gray.
- Business Services panel title now links to the BSM topology view
  (topology?provider=Business Services&layout=Hierarchy Layout&szl=1).
- Status Overview donut legends read the Feather text color so labels are
  legible on the dark surface (Chart.js' default gray was unreadable); a
  MutationObserver recolors them live when the .open-dark theme is toggled.
…the timeframe

New 'metric-chart' panel type: Chart.js line chart of a single metric on a
single entity over the panel's resolved timeframe. Entity and metric are
single-selects in the panel options (entity list = entities with data for
the chosen metric); defaults: localhost / Node Response Time (ICMP).
Reuses the Top-N KPI registry and measurements data path (listKpiSources
extracted from queryTopn).
Registry 'hidden' flag: the panel stays registered (renders if a layout
references it, handy for framework debugging) but is no longer offered
in production via Add Panel.
store.applyFactoryDefault() swaps in createDefaultLayout() (legacy homepage
parity incl. the Regional Map) and marks dirty; persists on Save. Fixes the
gap where a saved layout always shadowed the built-in default with no way
back (store.reset() only reloads the saved doc).
…parity)

Clicking a severity slice navigates to the legacy severity-filtered node
list (status/index.jsp?type=nodes&strategy={alarms|outages}&severityFilter=),
matching the original homepage status-box onclick; pointer cursor on hover.
