add the device's management url to the devices page in cacti

Post by MU-IT »

I'd love to have (but am disinclined to muck about with) the devices list include a management url or link.

It would be handy, for me at least, to be able to go to the Dell Openmanage link,or the Splunk page, or the switch management panel, etc.

This can already be done with the Manage plugin written by Gilles. It adds a management link to the top of the device page.

the manage plugin is pretty sweet, and def. worth looking into, but overkill for what i really was looking for.

I was hoping for something a little less administratively intensive (read as: "I'm too lazy to fully implement").

Just a simple field in which I could enter a management url or link to whatever documentation i might have on that particular device is all i'd need.
