Environment

  • Python version: Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: NetBox version: 2.6.2

Proposed Functionality

Currently, Graphs are only supported in the site, provider, and interface views. It would be great to extend this functionality to Device views.

Use Case

While I understand that netbox is not destined to replace monitoring systems and that the device page is already pretty full, it would be handy to be given the ability to add some representative graph for a device as well.

Ideally in a "conditional" / "templaty" kind of way similar to custom links, whereby one could add jinja-based {% if %} statement to not show the graph / panel in case a specific variable is not set.

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

None

The documentation at https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/additional-features/graphs/ says:

Type: Site, provider, or interface.

"devices" should probably be added there.
