Adding new tabs to Device View

Hi,

I'm trying to add new tab to device view. I need to have separate pages for RRD graphs for OS ('Perf' tab) and custom ('MyPerf' tab) performance templates. I modified appropriate Page templates and ZenModel/RRDView.py to get different graphs for each page.

I managed to do this by adding the new tab info to factory_type_information ZenModel/Device.py, but the problem is that then the change applies to every device in the system. I would like that 'MyPerf' tab would be visible only to devices under specific DeviceClass i.e. /Device/Server/MyServer/.

Zenoss dev guide instructs how to add new tabs with DMD: http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/zenoss-dev-guide/2.4.0/ch13s06.html . Unfortunately that doesn't help either because I couldn't find a way to modify servers belonging to specific DeviceClass. I was able to modify single server with id, but that's not very handy.

Hard stuff happy

    Got it ...
    I managed to do it with zendmd console.

    servers = dmd.getDmdObj('Devices/Server/MyServer/devices/').objectItems()
for server in servers:
    fti = server[1].factory_type_information
    newAct = {'action': 'myperf', 'id': 'myPerf', 'name': 'MyPerf', 'permissions': ('View',)},
    actTupl = fti[0]['actions']
    newTupl = actTupl[:6] + newAct + actTupl[6:]
    fti[0]['actions'] = newTupl
    server[1].factory_type_information = fti

commit()


    Pretty nice
    :P

    EDIT: Device view seems to accept 10 tabs at max.
