Status

[!WARNING] This project is no longer maintained as a standalone extension.

The functionality of iTop-br-powersocket has been integrated into iTop-br-power-infrastructure starting with version 1.0.0.

Please use iTop-br-power-infrastructure for all new installations and future updates.

Migration

If you are currently using iTop-br-powersocket, please plan to migrate to:

• iTop-br-power-infrastructure

The integrated module now provides the former PowerSocket functionality together with additional power infrastructure capabilities such as:

• generic power infrastructure extensions
• UPS support
• UPS battery support
• PDU-related power socket handling
• consolidated power infrastructure modeling in a single extension

Upgrade to iTop-br-power-infrastructure

The functionality of iTop-br-powersocket has been integrated into iTop-br-power-infrastructure starting with version 1.0.0.

Upgrade path

1. Install version 1.0.0 of iTop-br-power-infrastructure.

2. Remove the old extension directory from your extensions folder:

Former Scope of This Project

This extension added the concept of individual power sockets to PDUs in iTop and allowed DatacenterDevice objects to be connected to specific PDU sockets.

It introduced the class PowerSocket and provided automatic synchronization logic between:

• PowerSocket
• PDU
• DatacenterDevice

Each DatacenterDevice could be connected to:

• one Power A socket
• one Power B socket

The extension ensured that:

• no more than two sockets were assigned to a single DatacenterDevice
• slots were automatically assigned (A first, then B)
• connections stayed consistent when objects were updated or deleted
• invalid assignments were rejected or rolled back

Features

The original standalone extension provided:

• a dedicated PowerSocket class
• a socket list on PDU
• automatic batch creation of power sockets for PDUs
• Power A / Power B socket fields on DatacenterDevice
• automatic slot assignment (A → B)
• consistency checks and rollback logic
• event-driven synchronization logic
• PHP 8.2+ compatibility
• multilingual support based on dictionaries
