Well, As you said earlier I will need to customize external node script.
I need to classify my nodes and I don't like the idea of using customized external node script to read extra database such as csv file for example. I thought of an idea to parse yaml output of external node script, look for some parameter such as "group=base". Then look in some other source file/db to see which variable belong to group "base" and concatenate these variables to external node yaml out put. Does node classification planned for gni ? I mean the ability to define a group of nodes with some variables that all nodes in the group will inherits.
