That's really good Muris thanks, it's always been a bother that ND focused on
an Inventory being based on a logical object which has one or more IP
addresses, when that object could represent a whole stack of physical things
that you might want to care about in the real world.
It's quite a similar report to the Module Inventory report (yours produces
about 5% more lines ... I think yours also captures things that have no serial
number captured which the Module Inventory doesn't) but it's certainly a bit
more pleasing to read.

Subject: [Netdisco] Complete Device Inventory Report
Hi Netdisco peeps,
I looked at the internal reporting for netdisco about providing a complete
device inventory report, but it was not sufficient for my needs and I needed to
work on something more to complete especially with complex network audit
reports and running comparisons.
So I developed the – “Complete Device Inventory Report” in a SQL query
This is what this particular inventory report does –
Consolidated Data - It pulls data from both the device and device_module
tables, ensuring that you get a unified view of each device's name, IP address,
location, model, serial number, vendor, and operating system. If the device has
a module (like a chassis – eg.stacked), the stacked device details are included
and individual serial numbers and number of the switch in the stack in device
details column.
Avoids Duplicates - By using the ROW_NUMBER() function, it ensures that only
the first instance of a device (or its module) is listed, preventing duplicate
entries and providing cleaner, more readable data.
Enhanced Model Data - The query merges the device and module models, appending
the module's model (if different) to the device's model, separated by a |. This
gives a more complete picture of the hardware involved.
Prioritizes Important Data - If a device has a module (chassis), it prioritizes
the module's serial number, software version, and model. If there’s no module
or the data is missing, it defaults to the device's information.
Clear and Organized Output: The results are sorted by Device Name and Serial,
making it easy to find and group related entries for the same device.
Easily searchable and exportable – The data is able to be filtered in the
report, and also exportable in CSV via the webpage, as well as via backend SQL
query like excel
To add this report simply modify deployment.yml and add the below. Happy to
hear your thoughts ☺
