Networkdevices eol field

[dsm-museum-it]

Hi there,

will you add eol_dates for networkdevices in future versions? It would be nice to see, which devices needs to be swapped out.

Sounds a good idea to have something like replacement_date, should that be a year or an actual date? (just think about how all different customers would want/use this differently)

Also this is not a thing that should be implemented by TeemIp IMHO. It should actually be added as a field to PhysicalDevice in core iTop.

If really wanted, you can quickly add this field yourself by the means of a custom extension, see this how to for reference.

I like the idea as well. True that such field should be directly added to the PhysicalDevice class, in iTop. However, until this happens, I could add make it available from the teemip-network-mgmt-extended with a "define_if_not_exists" statement.

I also thought about customizing the teemip extension but it would be a kind of generic extension you might want to add anyway.

It would be nice if replacement_date would be an actual date field Companies tend to have exact eol_dates for firmwares etc.
