Detect and Ingest Platform Software Version #233

Open cmong-nextech opened 3 months ago

cmong-nextech commented 3 months ago

Environment

Proposed Functionality

When (for example) a show version is run on an endpoint, parse out the software version in addition to the type (which is already done) and use that information to populate the related fields/objects in Nautobot.

Use Case

Run the Sync Network Data from Network job with the "include software versions" option selected similar to the vlan, vrf, and cable options available currently. This would allow for easy tracking of platform software versions and can be extended into compliance and reportion features, saving a significant amount of time.

This was recently merged into Nautobot: https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot/pull/6107 which prevented us from implementing this.

We'll have to consider the priority for this since the support for software version without images may not be backported to it's first supported release.
