Add Refresh Button to update status of resources

[mcuff]

As Morpheus scans a Cloud at fixed intervals (typically 5 minutes) the status of resources is not always accurate. For example, user powers of an ESX VM via OS. Morpheus reports VM as powered on until refresh occurs.

It would be great if there was a Refresh option was added to Actions menu that allows user to trigger refresh for a resource so they can get an accurate picture of state of the world.

in the cloud, you can see a Refresh button where you can do a short refresh at any time irrespective of fixed interval.

I know about the cloud refresh feature. However as an MSP users don’t get access to it, they only get access to Instances. Doing it by instances/VM also means refresh operation is very targeted.

Add refresh option to Actions menu so Instances such Virtual Machine state can be updated. VMs are being powered on and off and Morpheus does not show state until cloud scan is performed. It would be good if user could request state is refreshed as needed. User powers off VM via OS command. VM shutdowns quickly however Morpheus state does not change until cloud rescan done. Upshot is user does not see correct state of the world for X minutes.
