NMS Device Grouping by Product OID/Device Type

A device post discovery is always defined as a particular device type, such as F5, Cisco ASA, etc.  Device Group Membership rules should allow for the ability to use Device Type as a means of membership.  Currently I am forced to define what the OID is that defines that product.   As a consumer of SevOne NMS I expect SevOne to keep up with the latest Product OID's, and update the Device Types.  

So regardless of what the latest Cisco ASA Product OID is, it would also be added to my Cisco ASA Product group.  This removes the need for me the customer, t constantly go in and update Device Grouping rules.

    To clarify, you want to be able to generate a report of device types (vendor/model/revision) by customer?

    Hey Marcus, this more of an ask of that auto-generated grouping based on discovered OIDs like sysDescr and sysObejctId right?

    Today you can build device groups referencing them today, but I'm guessing the ask based on our previous convo is more about that being auto-generated groupings rather than that pre-conception and cognitive burden being on the admin right?

    Hey Marcus, I understand your ask about making it easier to build Device Groups based on inputs like OIDs, and would like to get a better idea how these Device Groups would be used in the example you provided.
