Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.6.11

Proposed Functionality

Add the created and last_updated fields to the device component models.

Use Case

The addition of the created and last_updated fields to the models allows for both the potential parents and children of to have a common model framework. For this particular use case, it would be helpful to track these values in order to allow for consistent reporting functionality. The ultimate goal is to generate object reports that trigger at x day intervals and follow a workflow to request human auditing. This will ensure data remains current and someone "signs off" that the current tracked objects are still relevant.

Database Changes

This request does require changes to the /dcim/interfaces/ /virtualization/interfaces/ models.

External Dependencies

None.

Note

As always thanks for your fantastic project and all the team's efforts!
