Dashboard "Volumes" option like On-Prem

In the On-Prem version of Insights (Spectrum Control), we have the "Volumes" option under "Storage" tab on dashboard panel which displays all the volumes from multiple IBM SVC clusters but can't find that on the cloud version. Can you please have the "Volumes" option added as it would be helpful for our Ansible automation to gather volumes details for multiple tasks. I have attached the "Volumes" option under "Storage" tab screenshots from Spectrum Control for reference.

    Sure, We can close this for now and will wait for the REST API for SI. Thanks for the update.

    We don't have plans to provide a volumes view in SI, but we are looking at providing a REST API so that there's a programmatic interface into SI for automation purposes. This is SSI-I-35. I think this would really be the answer here?

    Meantime, the best option would be to automatic looking at each of the stroage controllers and gather the volumes manually.

    If you agree that the REST API meets the needs, then I'll close this as a duplicate of that idea and set an expectation that implementation of such an API will not happen until mid 2023 at the very earliest, and probably for this function, later than that.
