Sorry, I don't want to be a bastard about this, but don't you think
it would be nice to say what basis you are recommended this on?

The response you gave could mean anything from:

  Try it because I did, and it was difficult to set up, didn't do
   what I wanted, was buggy as hell and it ate every single nice
   fluffy kitten within a 10km radius of our server room.

through to:

  This is the most awesome piece of software I have ever used and
   when I asked for a feature, the author coded it up in 10 minutes
   emailed me a new version and the new feature worked perfectly.

with:

   I came across it on freshmeat.net but I don't know if its any
good.

somewhere in the middle.

[SLUG] Asset Tracking / Inventory Management

2009-11-09 Thread Joel Heenan
SLUG,

Looking for a lightweight open-source asset tracking / inventory management
tool. Our needs are basic, but we may want to customize the model or
starting getting funky with it.

The tool should:

 - Have a reasonable web based interface
 - Allow us access to the data raw or otherwise leverage it for our
automated tools (monitoring, configuration management)
 - Allow us to customize the model

Basically we want to store the information about a number of xen guests and
their hosts, and some network related information in a database where we can
all access it.

Any suggestions? A simple rails/django app you have used would be
sufficient.

Joel
