Complete list of required changes:

1) Database changes

Table hosts_profiles_ext will be merged into table hosts_profiles.

DB patches must be created.

Naming of the new fields is to be agreed.

2) Profile related macros will be extended to support new fields. All host profile fields will be supported.

Naming is to be agreed.

3) API: host.get (option select_profile)

4) GUI: Host configuration form

5) Parse URLs in profile fields. It should be supported for all fields.

6) XML import to support new schema layout (1.8 -> 2.0 only!).

7) In hosts inventory new column 'Type' is added, after 'Name'
----------------------------------------------------

To be implemented later on:

8) Existing inventory report will be extended to display inventory information and number of hosts grouped by one of inventory fields.

For example, grouping by OS: Linux: 450 hosts, Windows: 5 hosts.

The existing Inventory report will be extended to support this. Additional drop-down "Aggregate by" will be introduced to select a host profile field for grouping purposes. Only fields having varchar() type can be used due to performance considerations. By default, drop-down selection is set to <no aggregation>.

List of displayed fields will be fixed (initially) and to be agreed.

No API changes will be made for this report .
