Feature: Hardware Devices v2 - cockpit-project/cockpit GitHub Wiki
Goal
As a sysadmin, I need to see the devices on my system, so I can verify that they are present.
User stories
Robert manages a file server. There is something weird going on with one of the network card, because it doesn't show up on the Network page.
Workflows
Robert logs in to Cockpit and goes to the Network page. The interface doesn't show up there. He then goes to the Hardware page, and see that the device doesn't show up there either. He shuts down the server, unplugs that card and plugs in another one. He then boots the machine up again. He goes to the Hardware page and sees that the new card is recognized correctly. Turns out the old network card had fried.
