Originally created by @sjuxax on GitHub (Mar 6, 2019).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.7.2
  • NetBox version: tested against latest develop (7294f43fa3 at the time of this writing) and the tag for v2.5.7 (ac1e4b8e8f).

Proposed Functionality

Support topography map node selection by tag with a special annotation.

Already implemented at https://github.com/sjuxax/netbox/tree/topo-by-tag.

Use Case

Simplify selection of nodes for topography maps. This way, I can select @tag:power and @tag:storage to easily draw a map of power -> storage, rather than dealing with regex matching on a variety of potentially-disparate naming schemes.

Topography maps are being deprecated in the coming releases and removed after that.

As such it doesn't make sense to develop this feature more.

Thanks Dan, that's good info. Is there a plan to replace topography maps with something similar? Where can I find a copy of the roadmap such that I have an idea of what's being deprecated and what isn't?
