Hello Experts,
I need help to bring up the switch model and PID details in the form.
As of now, we can see the model ID (combination of manufacturer and model name) by default or OOTB.
However, the customer wants to see the model name as a separate attribute and also wants to see the PID for that switch/router as a separate attribute in the switch/router form. Do we need to create any custom pattern fr that or is there any other alternate way to achieve this,please suggest

Custom Attributes: If your current system doesn't provide separate fields for model name and PID by default, you will need to add custom attributes to the switch/router form to accommodate these values. Pattern Matching: If your system extracts information from devices through discovery and pattern matching, you might need to create or modify a custom pattern. This pattern should be able to extract the required details (model name and PID) from the device's data or configuration. Data Source: Ensure your switches/routers provide the necessary details (like PID) via SNMP, API, or other means that your system uses for discovery. Manual Entry: If auto-discovery isn't an option, consider allowing manual entry of these details when adding or updating a switch/router in the system.
