Use vendor API to retreive EOS/EOL data

the part-number matching algoritm for cisco EOS/EOL data is very hit and miss (mostly miss). In addition to reporting on the physical entities for EOS/EOL reporting I'd like the actual API cisco provide to be used on the serial number to collect and report the maintenance contract data and the EOS/EOL data.

i.e. use this: Cisco DevNet: APIs, SDKs, Sandbox, and Community for Cisco Developers for cisco

note: if other vendors provide such an API then be able to invoke it for whatever you have

Yes. Actually I would expect to create a user that had API access and use that from within the solarwinds application to download the necesary data.

this user would be saved in NCM, like other user roles

I could see this API-level user leveraged in other NCM features to do things like:

- open a TAC case (and attach the show tech output) on a device
