One of my network agents approached me the other day asking if there was a way to attach network blueprints to a location so the other network agents could see the network schematic when troubleshooting. They already keep their blueprints on a SharePoint, so my instinct was to make this really simple: Add a string field to the cmn_location table for a URL to the site's SharePoint directory of blueprints (they want people to see previous versions as well), and then add that field as a reference field to cmdb_ci_network table.
However, before I did anything, I thought I'd ask if this wheel has already been invented, and if there was a better way to do it. The only pitfall I can think of is, "What if the hardware team wants to do the same thing with server/rack locations," but we could easily modify the URL to be the location for all the current maps for the site, and just have a solid labeling strategy. Anyone have a better suggestion?
