Adding "site" as additional field for each device

Post by gandalf »

It would be helpful to specify a site as an additional descriptive field to each host. A filter for sites should be introduced to Graph Management and Data Sources as well.
The value for site should default to something like Standard Site.
It would be becessary to have a Management Screen to fill in all known sites. Users with lots of hosts would need that to group their devices.
It would be of great use, when generating graph trees automatically (e.g. 1 level = site, 2. level = host template). I'm looking forward to create some code for this "automatic tree creation.
See post http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=10170 to see, that is would be useful for granting access to "graph users" as well.

p.s.: I'd like to volunteer for this task if there would be a chance for the code to be integrated into mainline code[/b]

Major, Major agree. This would help me converge my End Device Tracking with the primary hosts table instead of being in it's own table.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Well, you know that I have seen your screen shots for this one before I compiled this feature request ;-). This led me to the idea, that it would be useful not only for the plugin.
