Combine Management Card (DRAC/ILO) and Servers as a single node

We poll Drac (DELL) & ILO (HPE) along the OS ( Linux, Windows or VMware) of the server hosted on the box. These come out as two separate nodes in Orion.

I would looooove to have a way to gather all metrics in one single view, by either combining data from the two "nodes", or by having a "virtual node" concept where It could regroup both along with the two servers. This would ease up alerting along with providing better hardware health overview.

This would be nice. During a discovery the management port has a totally separate IP and credentials so I can see it being difficult to associate the node and the management automatically. I did see some other suggestions - Check out this Thwack thread:

HP iLO v3 monitoring by SNMP - Forum - Network Performance Monitor (NPM) - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

There is the suggestion to create a generic template in SAM and then add that as part of the node information page.

I am going to try this in a week or so to see if it works.
