This component within ITAM is intended to display information about a device, be it a computer, router or switch etc.


## Features

For each device within your inventory, the following fields/tabs are available to track items:

- Name

- Operating System

- Software

- Configuration


### Operating System

This tab shows the operating system selected as installed on the device. the version `name` is intended to be full [semver](https://semver.org/).


### Software

This tab displays any action against software. For instance, you can select a piece of software from the inventory and have it set to either `Install` or `Remove` and the ansible config will be updated so that you can pull this config to use within a playbook.

Configuration for this tab is shown as a `list` of `dict` under the configuration key `software` and is setup for ease of use for the `ansible.builtin.apt` module.


### Configuration

Although, configuration is generally part of config management. This tab displays in `JSON` format configuration that is ready for use. The intended audience is Ansible users with the fields provided matching established Ansible modules, if they exist.

This configuration can also be obtained from API endpoint `/api/config/<machine-slug>` where `<machine-slug>` would match the Ansible `inventory_hostname`.
