Some other questions I have on Ralph is that is it able to track the full life- cycle of an asset from purchase through to disposal ? and how well is it able to manage spares? If someone can get back to me as soon as they can I will greatly appreciate it! I am trying to find an asset management tool that can meet our companies needs and I just want some insight onto Ralph! Thanks again!
I can answer just the question, yes it is Open Source → https://github.com/allegro/ralph/blob/ng/LICENSE
you can play with it , login: ralph, password: ralph
there is dc visualization (imho much better than racktables)
when it comes to import data from other systems - raph has import/export mechanizm from csv, xml, json files

So i installed Ralph following the excellent guide. Its working but i have no data yet. I was looking for a howto that explains all the options but somehow i dont manage to find a howto that explains the options and how they relate to eachother. Is there any available out there?
First i did my homework to understand python and the Django framework. Now i have a server up and running the way i want. Now im looking for some documentation that tells me how all thing are related to eachother. Im new to Ralph and at the moment having some difficulties to mix and match all modules together. I was think about spinning up a vagrantbox or docker container and checkout the example data but first i want to see if there are better options like reading the manual. I get stuck at adding assets. The guide im reading assumes all other things are in place. In my setup they are not. What would you advice me to do?
it should be very similar to 3.x version until we update it
so i recommend to stick with the quickstart: http://ralph.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart.html
hey, i have a couple of questions. First, can you elaborate more on what is the difference exactly between the Asset and a Device, it seems like i have to always create both Asset model and Device model for the same type of device whenever I want to add more. Second is if I have a switch (for example) connected to a physical host, I can link the host to the switch via the Inbound/Outbound connection in the Device properties in Admin panel, however, I can't seem to figure out how to link what port on the host is connected on what port on the switch, I do see the option in Core module when I look at the device that state "This Device Port Connected Device Connected Device Port", but i don't know how to link those to each other
connections between devices are handled by discovery scripts, we don't do this by hand
testing ralph 2.x at this time
the answer is - no and yes ;-) we didn't expose in gui this functionality, but going to the admin site -> devices -> edit you will see
so you can manually set it if you want
