Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.5
  • NetBox version: 2.5.8

Proposed Functionality

Currently, you can filter devices by things such as Has Primary IP or Has Power Ports, however, it is very difficult to find devices which have a value for Local Context Data.

Use Case

In a scenario where you have configurations being generated off of the Global config context and then potentially being replaced by data in Local config context, it would be helpful to see how many devices (and more importantly which ones) have Local contexts defined in order to see which are "snowflakes" (or different) from the rest of the devices.

This would enable you to better have an overall view of those devices which are unique and must be handled with extra care when interacting with them.
