More Fields for each Device

Post by nicolapiazzi »

Cacti work well, but is very poor about device description
Is possible to make a feature or a plugin that give more customizable fields ?
Now there are only Description and Notes (Notes not appear in device listing)
I need some fields like : Version, Physical location, port, floor, etc

Thanks
Nicola

Aou may add whatever you want by implementing a plugin that does so.
There are virtually two different methods to store the additional fields:
- in table "hosts"
- in a separate table which has a reference to the id field of table "hosts"
Personally, I prefer the second one.

Yes, the second will be better
Plugin must give another view of devices in the menu to show new columns
unfortunately i have not enough knowledge to develop it :-(
