Thanks Martin,
the force was with me and I figured out where to place the Node()-definitions. I have seen the file you mentioned, but didn’t get the idea how it will be loaded.
Then “~/local/lib/python3/cmk_addons/plugins/{family}/inventory_ui/columns.py” was a good guess from me and I now can extend and define own column names for our inventories.
Side note:
In server_side_calls-API-doc it is explicitly written where to place the file and the Quick Guide is what I’m missing in the other plugin docs:
~/lib/python3.13/site-packages/cmk/server_side_calls/init.py: * The file with the plug-in has to be placed in the server_side_calls folder
In plugin API doc:
(Advanced) Example (for the docs, please use it if you want it):
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# The file with the plug-in has to be placed in the `inventory_ui` folder (e.g. "~/local/lib/python3/cmk_addons/plugins/{family}/inventory_ui/columns.py")
import re
import time
from cmk.inventory_ui.v1_unstable import (
Label,
Node,
NumberField,
SINotation,

UNIT_BYTES = Unit(SINotation("B"))
def _render_date(value: int | float) -> Label | str:

def _sort_key_version(value: str) -> tuple[int | str, ...]:

for value_part in value.split("."):
for part in re.split(r"(\d+)", value_part):
try:
parts.append(int(part))
except ValueError:
parts.append(part)
return tuple(parts)
