Description

Hello,

It seems that even fetching full inventory doesn't output the system serial number.
Could you please add a way to get it?

Thanks,
Olivier

Edit, FAR: for reference, both the "serial" and "manufacturer" fields viewable in the node inventory details, in the [General] section since Rudder 2.11 are concerned.

This seems to be a bug, because we added these information in 2.11 in the main panel but not in the API.

Proposed place for these information:

- 1/ in the main (first) level:

"data": {
    "nodes": [
    {
        "id": "32e45242-5571-4d9b-87ae-07b02b6f8fff",
        "hostname": "node1.rudder.local",
        ....
        "manufacturer": "innotek GmbH",
        "systemSerialNumber": "0",
        ....
        "os": {
            ....
        }  
        ... other caracteristics ...
    }
  }

2/ in the "machine"

"data": {
    "nodes": [
    {
        "id": "32e45242-5571-4d9b-87ae-07b02b6f8fff",
        "hostname": "node1.rudder.local",
        ....
        ....
        "os": {
            ....
        }  
        "machine": {
          "id": "883EC5E5-5614-4F4F-881C-AE2AF8952DF4",
          "type": "Virtual",
          "provider": "vbox",
          "manufacturer": "innotek GmbH",
          "serialNumber": "0" 
        },
        ... other caracteristics ...
    }
  }

1/ map the most closely the logic of the node details. But 2/ seems more logical: these fields are optionnal and are actual caracteristic of the hardware.

For the naming scheme, I think "manufacturer" is OK. For the "system serial number", I think the whole name is needed if at the root level (case 1), but "machine.serialNumber" is shorter/better.

So I would go for 2, and the PR available here allow to test that solution: https://github.com/Normation/rudder/pull/613
