Gather Serial Numbers

A big benefit to network administrators would be if NTM could also gather the serial numbers of discovered devices, specifically Cisco switches and routers. This would allow network administrators to check off the devices against master hardware lists, produce reports for renewing maintenance contracts etc.

    Is it possible to pull that data from Orion? I know, there are caveats:

    1. Have to be an Orion customer

    2. Have to have a plugin for NTM to Orion

    But this could save on the performance issue. NTM can draw a map, then pull the data it needs from Orion. If a node is drawn, but doesn't have an Orion entry, provide us with a check box to add it. Or, NTM can poll the data by itself, then run a comparison against Orion for validation; still providing us with a check box to add missing nodes.

    Just some additional thoughts (I'm hoping NTM becomes part of Orion some day emoticons_happy.png )...
