How to change the look of equipment
Hi,
is it possible to download a picture ( gif, jpeg,bmp, dwg,.... file ) or even draw one yourself and use it to change the look (front and back) of the equipment ( server, switch,storage box, bladecenter, etc... ). Or use somekind of MIB? I have seen this in DCIMs from other vendors where the server is really configured (and shown) with fiber, ethernet cards, power supplies, etc... . As if you take a picture of the server.
This is not only nice to have, but also very practical, more realistic and more intuïtive from a system or network administrator point of view for example.
This is also something our clients would like to see in the webclient.
regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
It is not possible (not supported) to change the look of equipment in DCO. However, I was wondering perhaps using custom properties might be useful here.
As described here: Custom properties, if you start a property value with http:// or file://, you will create a clickable link in the list of custom properties and will also add Custom Links to the context menu for the equipment item. This allows you to store for example a photo of the equipment or any equipment documentation, or create a link to product pages.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards

Thank you for your quick reaction Jef.
Is there an upgrade foreseen in the, hopefully near, future to have this feature?
The client(s) ( and me ) would like to have a realistic rack view. Going into the properties field for each server seperately is not a solution to this issue. It could help of course, but doesn't change anything about the initial request.
You say : not supported. So, maybe there is somekind of workaround?

You are welcome, Tom
Sorry, as far as I know there is no workaround - it is basically not possible for a DCO user to change the look of equipment. If you wish, I can capture this as a feature request for you, or you might want to post one here: Feature requests
Kind regards
