| | We have a home grown database which we track inventory data such as asset tag info, cabinent, site, make, model, and purpose. Is there a way to pull this data using a server side scripting language? Or is there way to include a webpage into a WUG report? |

| We've had some customers write Active Script Actions to pull data from an external DB and save it to a device as a device attribute. They schedule it to run via recurring actions, so the WUG info gets updated from the DB periodically.
As for including other content in a WUG workspace view: you can definitely do this. The simplest way is to include the content in an iframe, but you could also write a javascript to query the datasource and output the information via ajax.

| | Thanks that so much help... However... I need to supply a name or ip or something to identify the server in the external database. Is there a variable that I can use to grab that based on the device I am currently looking at? What sort of sytax or langauge would I use? |

| If you're in an active script, you can use a percent variable. %Device.Address or %Device.HostName should give you what you want.

| | Thanks so much for your help however the site that I am using utilizes PHP rather than ASP. In the free form HTML mini report, is there anyway to reference the current server's name or some identifying attribute? I have setup an IFRAME as follows <iframe src='http://intranet/server_data.php?server_name=<I_NEED_SERVER_NAME_HERE>'></IFRAME> how can i get the server name into the free form HTML section? is that even possible? |

| Unfortunately, there's no direct way to do it. The parsing of all identifying information is handled server-side (in the ASP) and isn't available to the javascript.
You could potentially parse the information from where it's displayed elsewhere on the page, but this would be a fairly unorthodox approach  and can't be guaranteed or supported.
