Is there a token that refers to a device groups parent or a token that give the full device group path?
There is a token ##RESOURCEGROUP## that shows just the name of the device group a device is in but is there a way to show that device groups parent?
Or that device groups full path?
I have a device group structure that organizes things by location then by type.
EG:
Customer A/Site A/ESXi Hosts
Customer A/Site B/ESXi Hosts
If I use just ##RESOURCEGROUP## then I end up with NOC widgets that group by resource group just showing a whole bunch of 'ESXi Hosts' for the name of each grouping.
I would like to be able to name the grouping with either the parent or if that's not possible, by the full path.
There was a feature request made by Mosh several years ago but I don't have permissions to view it so can't tell what ever happened to it:
/topic/1123-new-token-for-groups-parent-groupparent/
Did that ever get any traction?
Pulling my hair out here over these widgets, none of them seem to have consistent behaviour either....

·5 years agoStill no ability to reference the parent group of a resource group ?

·5 years agoAs far as I know parent tokens are still not available. One workaround is to use dynamic groups. Under each Customer you can create a dynamic group for each site (something like system.staticgroups =~ "^Customer A/SiteB/") then point the widget there.
