Puppet users - Feb 2012 - How to add Node Description as extra column in table overview

Hi,

I have about 20+ nodes managed with Puppet, and they all have names
like xyz-123. I added a description to each of them (e.g. like "test
build server", "production DB 1", etc.).

Now what I would like, is to have these description strings displayed
in the dashboard tables (e.g. All, Unresponsive, etc.) as an extra
column next to Node name. This would help in identifying much quicker
whats going on, or whats wrong.

Any way to enable that?

No, not as part of the product.  You could obviously patch Dashboard,
which wouldn''t be impossibly hard, but it isn''t in by default.

You could also file a feature request asking that it be added, which
helps let the folks working on that product know what you care about.
