Storing External IP for environment in folder variables/custome field?
Storing External IP for environment in folder variables/custome field?
Hi,
I have few environments, each collected into folder structure. They are SSH connections, URLs and few other objects.
Differences between environments is only external IP used as SSH Gateway.
Is there any way to store such IP in one place e.g. root of environment folder as custom field/variable and propagate it to SSH endpoints and SSH gateway?
Currently, I copy that Gateway IP to each endpoint which is not super good.
Thanks Radek

Hello,
Sorry for the delay.
There are several ways of doing so in RDM.
I think the simplest would be through variables. I suggest you have a short read over here : https://kb.devolutions.net/rdm_folders_and_dynamic_variables.html
Pay attention to the folder type, you will likely have to change yours, I suggest SITE.
Then access the "Variables" interface from the entries
You can use these variables almost anywhere in RDM Entries.
You can also stack different types of folders to have multiple variables sources...
I hope this helps, let us know!
Best regards,

It works, Thanks.
Last question. Is there any connection between folder type and variable ?
Hello,
Yes there is!
For example if you choose a "Server" typed folder, the variables that refer to its value are Computer/Hardware.
Moreover, that allows you to stack up folder of different types to leverage leverage the inheritance on several layers of folders.
I hope this helps!
