[UI, UX] There is no way to tell when the region last updated images

[Jason Hobbs]

And I mean the images themselves, not the stream info.

I'm waiting on a new MAAS image that has a fix I need. I would like to know when my images last synced from upstream (maas.io), and how old my current image is (when was it generated?).

There is no way to tell that through the UI.

smoser has a script that shows the info I'm looking for here:

Example output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23865251/

This is with 2.1.3

Hi Jason,

Go to controllers page:

Name Status Type Last Image Sync Images Status
"maas00.maas Region and rack controller Wed, 25 Jan. 2017 12:07:54 Synced"

It tells you it is a region/rack and the last image sync. Does that not provide what you need?

Hi Andres, that's good to see but it does not tell me what I want to know, which is how old my current images are. That controllers page is a little confusing - it says when the last sync was, but it's not clear what that means. Is that a sync between region and rack, a sync from maas.io to region? Were any new images provided? My question of "when did this image last get updated" is not answered.
