Hello,
We are currently looking into different ways to make one "authorative" device registry for servers and network equipment for our network (which is not necessarily NAV) I am simply wondering if there is any available contrib script or method to push a new Location, Room and Device into the database without using the NAV GUI? (by using a shell script, CGI, etc) That way we could use a different GUI adding new devices into NAV without depending on using the GUI. I realize that a lot of it can be done by pushing stuff directly into the PostgreSQL database, but I assume I would need some shell scripting in order to add a new device to NAV?
The reason I'm wondering is because we're currently using a self scripted inventory registry for servers, and would like to know the possibility to add new devices by pushing info from this registry to the NAV database, without depending on using NAVs GUI to add new devices.
I hope the question wasn't too complicated.
Regards,
