Proposed Functionality

Please add the column Utilization in Clusters view (/virtualization/clusters/) as it's already done for Prefixes.

Use Case

All hypervisors have the perfomance parameters such as Memory Usage, CPU Usage, Storage Usage. Exporting these parameters is not a problem. It would be great to view some type of utilization percentage in Netbox for VM Clusters to identify its utilization level.

For example:

The individual VMs have these attributes defined, but the clusters/hosts do not, so there's no maximum value to compare against. And even if there was, VMs are commonly over-provisioned to varying degrees. Capacity planning in this regard is best left to an orchestration system.
