Description

Would it be possible to include the Hardware type (dmidecode -s system-product-name), like "PowerEdge R730" additionally to the Manufacturer ("Dell") in the Inventory and as a foundation for dynamic groups?

Thanks,
Janos M

Hello Janos,

Actually, the machine model is already present in the "Hardware" -> "BIOS" tab of a machine inventory, in the "Name" column.

You can select a specific model in a group by searching "Bios", "Name", "Regex, =, ..." and the model you want. As an example, you can search by regex "PowerEdge.*"

It might be a good idea to rename "BIOS" here by "Chassis" I guess. FAR, any advice on this ?

Sounds reasonable, I can live with BIOS, I only had to find it :)

So no change of "BIOS" to "Chassis" then? :-)

@Janos Matya: with #4670, you will be able to name things whatever you want ;)
