[ ] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Environment

  • Python version: 2.7.12
  • NetBox version: 2.2.8

Description

In webGUI when you display circuit and its A and Z termination sides. Only the site, termination device and port is displayed. Could it be better to also add the rack name next to the site termination ?

Something like this :
netbox rack circuit request feature

With this it would be easier to find informations when you have multiple racks in one site.

The rack is inferred from the device on which the circuit is terminated. It doesn't seem likely that a lot of people will need this information included next to the device name.

I'd actually like that 👍

Me too! It would help to minimize the end users action (prevent another search and associated possible human erors) when troubleshooting a circuit.

Could this be implemented using an on/off flag to be flexible ?

I really have to agree with @jeremystretch here. Does not seem like a bunch of ROI, and it starts a potential ui noise creep.

Click the device to see what rack it’s in, or generate a report if you need that view. Maybe this gets added later as netbox addresses more major features.

Maybe if someone else besides Jeremy wants to implement this, they can do a PR, but this badly sounds like a nice to have.

Yeah, I've got to reject this one as there's no direct relationship between a circuit and the rack in which the devices it's terminated to is installed. That information as well as any other information concerning the device is provided on the device view.
