Add link to web interface of OOB management/power IP address in web UI

[Sandor Zeestraten]

Every so often when a node is broken, I will use the web interface of the OOB management software (iDRAC, BMC, etc.) to do some troubleshooting.

It would be nice if there was a clickable link in the page of a node so you easily go to the IP of the management interface.

Right now you can copy the IP address under the Power section of the node, however it could be nice to have something easier such as a small icon next to it, or make it clickable somehow.

I was thinking exactly the same thing recently, and came here to file a "wishlist" bug report, only to find it already existed! This is a common need in server certification, since we often have to "babysit" boot processes via the BMC.

@adam-collard, this is a feature request, not an issue that is should expire after 6 months. If you do not want to implement this feature than that is fine, but please say so.

[Rod Smith (rodsmith)]

The feature still does not exist in MAAS 2.6.0 (7802-g59416a869-0ubuntu1~18.04.1) and would still be useful.

[Blake Rouse (blake-rouse)]

Being a feature request, please could you start a thread over on our Discourse (https://discourse.maas.io/c/features) to discuss the feature?
