Request option to customize OID for device Model, Software Version, Serial Number, and possible other Misc field that we could customize; then we should also have option to view this data in an Inventory Report

Option to customize OID for device Model, Software Version, Serial Number, and possible other Misc field that we could customize; then we should also have option to view this data in an Inventory Report

I found at least 4 new device types for which model and version is not polled. Instead of having an idea for every of those, there should be a fix to provide permanent fix so that we could customize values and not have every time for every device type to submit idea and wait for it to be implemented.

See cases

****00159254 - cannot poll Model and Software Version in inventory report for ESXi/vCenter

****00159255 - cannot poll Model and Software Version and Serial in inventory report for Silverpeak

****00159256 - cannot poll Model and Software Version and serial in inventory report for NetApp devices (ONTAP)

****another ex: OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2636.3.1.2.0 works to provide model for Juniper QFX but does not work for Juniper EX, so there is so many vendors and models that choosing generic OID is not helping


Then of course data is not useful if it cannot be presented in a report, so we will need it added to inventory report.

    Recommend adding a field to the "Device Type" configuration for Version. if it's not populated, it will use the default OID. If it is populated, it will use that OID (or static value). Then the response would be stored in the Inventory report for the version column.
