I would like to use NCM more as a inventory tool in addition to its configuration management capabilities. I would like to see the inventory aspects expended upon. One of the ways that would make this happen is to be able to search by serial number.
Great idea. For internal folks, this is being tracked as #1159.
Thanks, Chris! I appreciate it.
FYI, if you're willing to dig into SQL to create your report, you can do a SQL query on the Entity_Physical table.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under what database would I find the Entity_Physical table? ----Resolved----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ok Found it,
dbo.Entity_Physical is under Configuration Management>Tables>dbo.Entity_Physical, You can match up the NodeID with the table dbo.Nodes
(edit actually NodeID's look different between Entity and NodeID so you may have to match it up with dbo.IPAddresses first then back to the other)
for the SysName (hostname) MachineType (Model) and AgentIP (IP address)
Suggestions?
