Steps to reproduce the problem:
Currently there is no means of retrieving the device serial number from an app or extension. This is a road block to creating an app or extension which can aid us in asset management. We must be able to gather from the local device the serial number, logged on user id and local IP address. We can already get the user and IP information, but not serial number. It would also be useful if the network API returned the interface MAC address. The serial number and MAC address are available in CPanel, but there is no way to correlate that to an IP address, which is our only means of mapping a device to a physical site.

You currently track IP address(es) in CPanel, which could be useful, except that you wipe that data out when a user logs on. 

This feature request does not pose a security risk. It would only function on a managed device. Even if a malicious party were to obtain the serial number, it shouldn't matter. The serial number shouldn't be secret information. It's printed on the chassis, after all.

What is the expected behavior?
Need an API method to retrieve system information, including Serial Number, MAC Address(es), and potentially other useful system administrative data.

What went wrong?
No API exists to retrieve serial number or MAC address.

Did this work before? No
