I am a service provider that needs to report licensing to Microsoft monthly.  That report is based on CPU sockets and CPU cores, not necessarily devices.  Virtual devices are also licensed to the device host, not to the virtual device.  I would like a built in report that includes the following:

device name, device serial, hardware, cpu count, cpu cores, service level, customer, operating system, virtual host

A second report or additional fields to the first report  would be on the virtual hosts themselves.  So if virtual host is TRUE then add the following fields:

number of microsoft virtual devices, number of non-microsoft virtual devices

Thanks!

  Eric,

  You can do the first part today using the create_device_report_from_apis script available on our github repository: https://github.com/device42/Misc_D42_Python_Scripts

  To add customer  to it, just add following to the line 40:

  , i.get('customer','')
  

  You won't be able to get whether virtual host or not yet. We will address that soon.

  For the second part, you can script it through the APIs today, but script will be little complicated. Point noted though and we will discuss it internally on how to handle that best.

  Thanks,

  Raj

  Eric,

  We have added extra options to the reporting in the Device42 User Interface in v5.5.4: http://blog.device42.com/2013/11/rack-layout-on-your-smart-phone-and-better-reporting-with-v5-5-4/

  Now you can get CPU count. memory, OS info etc. in the report. And location will print out virtual host name if it is a virtual machine. 

  Thanks,

  Raj
