Analysis Monitoring -- Add flag when backend pauses

[jkmarx]

Observed

Currently, the front end goes to a default PENDING when the backend (galaxy/celery) pauses.

Enhancement

Instead, the front end should display current information with a flag indicator. The indicator will inform the backend has paused. (Tooltip or plain text info?)

[ngehlenborg]

I think a tool tip linked to the warning indicator is sufficient.

Maybe use http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/exclamation-triangle/ for the warning?

@ngehlenborg @hackdna What should the tooltip says? {{stage}} has paused. or API has stalled, please wait for update. or.......?

[ngehlenborg]

@hackdna: when this happens, what are possible causes?

[hackdna]

Galaxy status update requests fail for whatever reason.

[ngehlenborg]

Ok, then the status message should reflect that. What do you think about "Unable to obtain status updates from Galaxy analysis backend?"

[hackdna]

Sounds good to me but would it make sense to our (non-technical) users?

[ngehlenborg]

What would make sense?

[hackdna]

Something like "Galaxy analysis status unknown"? Whatever we choose, we should later ask our users if it makes sense to them.
