Expand to a broader plugin scope for all vendors

Open ryanmerolle opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

There is a huge need in the community to track warranty/support status for all devices (i.e. all manufacturers).

It would be nice to leverage this same data model across all devices(physical & virtual), but still allow users the selectable option (an configurations like cron) to auto-populate devices depending on the vendor support for that via an API or web-scraping.

What does this feature request mean?

  1. Rename feature to something like netbox-support
  2. Rename widgets/cards to remove Cisco
  3. Allow plugin to work with or without setting up cron or cisco syncs
  4. Allow manual setting of EOL/EOS, and other options in a Support page for editing the support plugin model

@goebelmeier I'd love to work with you on this. I'd even submit a PR given some of the suggestions above.

Hi @ryanmerolle ,

Did you eventually work on an update of this?

No. Before I work on a PR I like to get acknowledgment from a maintainer. I do not have interest in forking this plugin at this time and maintaining it alone.
