How to Add Device Type

truegodfather

Hello,

I need to create a report for management to show how many devices (by Type) that we have.

I want to create a report to show of many switches, routers, firewalls, physical and virtual servers that we have in our environment? it would be nice to have a entry called "type" in node details to say what the device is (Switch or Router or Firewall)

Type - Router

Type - Switch

I contacted support and they advised me that it is now built into Orion and I need to create a custom property and manual enter the device type.

Has anyone been able to create this?

The easiest way to do this is with custom properties.

So create a new node custom property and either create the dropdown list yourself of types, or have it as an ad-hoc add as you think of them or add to your setup.

Then in the report simply call on the custom property.
