UI: Hosts/Groups Inventory view with custom column values #2655

ISSUE TYPE

Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

SUMMARY

A killer-feature that will help customizing inventory view by exposing data in separate columns for each hosts/group.

Some of the examples :

Template based value with column name "Management IP" and value "{{ ansible_ssh_host }}"
Template based value with column name "Role" and value "{{ role }}"

probably dependent on #278

Any possibility to prioritize this feature?

Having jinja in place can also help crafting link to the host in external system, this one is also "killing-feature". It can also can be used to jump, e.g. to website on host, that was provisioned.

Currently only

tags can be used for exposing interesting information, for many tags hosts view becomes overloaded
external systems should be used for information about host.

Using jinja to craft links that would be interpreted in the browser would be terrible from a security perspective, we would not do that.

This would be a really nice feature to have in AWX. Would there be any chance of having the ability to add additional columns (eg.. groups) to the view?
