Usages API returns instance names but not IDs

[Gabriel Hurley]

The usage API returns a list of usage data which includes the instance name, however it fails to include the instance ID. So, for example, if someone wanted to investigate an instance in that list, there's no direct way to get to it.

This is counter to everywhere else in the API where IDs are returned without names.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send both names *and* IDs. Preferrably for everything, everywhere! Horizon and the rest of your consumers will thank you for it!

[Gabriel Hurley (gabriel-hurley)]

This is still a valid bug for Horizon since we haven't fixed the issue of the links in the usage table, and if Nova *does* fix this problem we'll want to act to apply the fix on our end.

By 'usage API', do you mean the 'simple_tenant_usage' extension? Just want some clarification.

Whichever API is accessed by https://github.com/openstack/python-novaclient/blob/master/novaclient/v1_1/usage.py
