Sub-Groups: More of an enhancement request

[tek0011]

I see there is a way to add a group to a group. However, on the group panel, it does not get set to look like a child group. Is there a way to have it branch out as in:

Group: Backup Solutions |__Exchange |__SQL |__Oracle

Right now it looks pretty ugly with so many groups.

A group can belong to more than one parent group, so a tree view wouldn't work completely. I'm open to ideas on it.=

I see what you're saying. The only thing I can drum up is to create a separate object, call it "sub group" and allow it to only have 1 parent. Thus wherever the parent moves, even if its part of more than one parent group, the subgroup itself would still only follow the parent its attached to.

This stems from some of our teams whom have teams within teams. Our Backup Solutions team has an Exchange Team, SQL Team, Oracle Team, Java Team. Each of them want to be classified under Backup Solutions as thats who they are, but want to see their nodes on an individual basis.

Ninja Edit: Now that I have your ears, do you know of any modules which grab SQL server information? SQL version, builds, etc.

Er, like a facter module that reports database information?

[tek0011]

Not only DB info, but SQL versions, revs, etc. I need to figure this out for exchange as well. So it can grab exchange db's, dags, versions, etc.

Mainly right now though, our backup team just wants the versions of SQL.
