Multiple Labs

[eugenio-amd]

Any plans on allowing users to add multiple "labs" for better organization?

Hey @eugenio-amd thanks for dropping in. When you say labs, are you referring to physical buildings? and from there, I am imagining some sort of relationship between these things.

Does something like this match your thinking:

graph TD                                                                                                                                                                                             
      subgraph "Lab Hierarchy"                                                                                                                                                                                              
      L1["Lab 1"] 
      L2["Lab 2"]
      L3["Lab 3"]
      L1 --> R1["Rack 1"] 
      L1 --> R2["Rack 2"] 
      L2 --> R3["Rack 3"]
      L2 --> R4["Rack 4"]

      L3 --> R5["Rack 5"]
      L3 --> R6["Rack 6"]
      L3 --> R7["Rack 7"]
      end

Yeah something exactly like that. Maybe just different tabs on the page so I can see 8 racks that I have in 1 room, 4 that I have in another and have it organized like that where I don't see all the racks on one page.

thanks for the confirmation @eugenio-amd. that makes sense. it sounds like you are struggling with modelling those multiple spaces in a coherent and efficient manner. I will ut some thought into how to best (reasonably) achieve that.

I am also curious, because I have some backburner issues on modelling network connectivity. Do you care/keep track of the network connections between these places, or is that out of scope in your mind?

That would be a nice feature to have. It would be convenient to see what servers are up at a glance.
