Plugins » Discovery

Hello, it is technically easy to add search condition "discovery_rule" in the All Hosts screen. With that, you can search and filter hosts easily. Discovered hosts do not have rules assigned to them, so it is not possible to search them this way, but we could add a link to the Discovered Rules index page that takes you to Discovered Hosts list with search field filled with the statement from the discovery rule. Both these are realatively easy to implement.

I implemented the searching, try the associated pull request.

• tell what type a host is (both in discovery and provisioned)

Implemented partially via the link.

• tell how many hosts belong to a certain type (discovery and provisioned)

For provisioned hosts we have already counter available, see the "Hosts/limit" column. Not easy to implement for discovered hosts as rules cannot be executed one by one easily. That's expensive operation.

• provision hosts of a certain type (not necessarily automatically)

You can search them now with the button and then auto-provision them all. Unfortunately we don't have Auto Provisioning implemented via mass actions, the button will simply do them all. Filed an issue for this: #11796

• perform various breakdowns that include host type (type AND facts.project AND facts.datacenter)

Not sure what you mean.

Take a look on my patch there and if you still need something else, please specify how you would like to have this implemented. I think my patch fullfils the subject filled for this issue, feel free to request new RFE if you still want something else.
