NetBox version

v4.2.9

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

I suggest we add support for Tunnel Groups to show up in the global Netbox search, in the same way VLAN Groups currently show up.

Use case

We use VPN Tunnel Groups to group several IPsec tunnels together. One group serves one tenant and the name of the group is used both in our configuration and communication with clients. Unfortunately Tunnel Groups do not show up in the Netbox global search, which makes it harder to find these tunnels unless you know to search in the specific Tunnel Groups table.

Database changes
