Additional Information in Hosts

[Oleg]

Hello guys,

is it possible to add an additional column with the information from host-inventory?
For example the “System Product”.
That could safe multiple steps to find out, which image should be assigned to which host.

Thanks

@Oleg Do you mean a new column in the database or just showing it in the web UI (host list/overview)?

[Oleg]

@Sebastian-Roth
Yes just show it in the Web-UI

[Sebastian Roth]

@Oleg Don’t think we’ll add that to the official code as it would spawn a discussion on which fields should be added for everbody’s like.

But I can give you some instructions for you to modify the code. Would you be interested in that? Which version of FOG do you use?

[Oleg]

@sebastian-roth That would be nice - we use 1.5.8/9 currently.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Oleg What do you mean by 1.5.8/9? More than one installation and different versions or a 1.5.8 install with manual adjustments towards 1.5.9 added?

[Oleg]

@sebastian-roth we have multiple installations - the most are currently on 1.5.8 and some on 1.5.9. But the changes in the web-ui shouldn’t be that huge

[Sebastian Roth]

@Oleg I will post the information as soon as I find some more time. Probably on Friday this week.

@sebastian-roth Thanks!

@Oleg I hope you can read patch/diff information. Here are the changes you need to make to /var/www/html/fog/lib/pages/hostmanagementpage.class.php to add the “System Product” column to the host list output - this is for FOG 1.5.9 and would probably work in 1.5.8 just as well:

I suggest you keep a copy of this information somewhere so you can apply the changes whenever you update to a new version of FOG.
