Converting megabytes to gigabytes

[kryptonit1]

It would be be nice if it was possible to automatically convert megabytes to gigabytes when collecting for example total_ram_mb or drive_capacity_mb from Jamf.

Found this on the MacAdmins Slack, but it does not seem to have been added to jamf2snipe:

Unfortunately, we don't have access to the MacAdmins slack :(

My colleague made some edits to allow for more flexibility and unit conversion in the API mapping.

We can now parse through hardware > storage to grab total_ram_mb and drive_capacity_mb then / 1024 for GB like so:

[api-mapping]
name = general name
_snipeit_mac_address_1 = general mac_address
notes = location username
_snipeit_ram_2 = hardware total_ram_mb / 1024
_snipeit_hdd_3 = hardware storage drive_capacity_mb / 1024

• multiplication also works

Unfortunately, this feature isn't actually in-place, so I've had to back out the change to show the new syntax in the settings file. I'm working on re-integrating it, however. Unfortunately the version of jamf2snipe that it's based on is pretty ancient, so it's taking a bit of spelunking.

Once I have the feature re-integrated, I'll make sure to add back in the new / 1024 syntax into the example settings file
