Environment

Python version: 3.6.8
NetBox version: 2.7.6

Steps to Reproduce

Create a report with given example from the documentation in /opt/netbox/netbox/reports then visit the uri /extras/reports.

from dcim.constants import CONNECTION_STATUS_PLANNED, DEVICE_STATUS_ACTIVE
from dcim.models import ConsolePort, Device, PowerPort
from extras.reports import Report


class DeviceConnectionsReport(Report):
    description = "Validate the minimum physical connections for each device"

    def test_console_connection(self):

        # Check that every console port for every active device has a connection defined.
        for console_port in ConsolePort.objects.prefetch_related('device').filter(device__status=DEVICE_STATUS_ACTIVE):
            if console_port.connected_endpoint is None:
                self.log_failure(
                    console_port.device,
                    "No console connection defined for {}".format(console_port.name)
                )
            elif console_port.connection_status == CONNECTION_STATUS_PLANNED:
                self.log_warning(
                    console_port.device,
                    "Console connection for {} marked as planned".format(console_port.name)
                )
            else:
                self.log_success(console_port.device)

    def test_power_connections(self):

        # Check that every active device has at least two connected power supplies.
        for device in Device.objects.filter(status=DEVICE_STATUS_ACTIVE):
            connected_ports = 0
            for power_port in PowerPort.objects.filter(device=device):
                if power_port.connected_endpoint is not None:
                    connected_ports += 1
                    if power_port.connection_status == CONNECTION_STATUS_PLANNED:
                        self.log_warning(
                            device,
                            "Power connection for {} marked as planned".format(power_port.name)
                        )
            if connected_ports < 2:
                self.log_failure(
                    device,
                    "{} connected power supplies found (2 needed)".format(connected_ports)
                )
            else:
                self.log_success(device)

Expected Behavior

We should see the list of class defined in the report file as reports instead of the following error.

Observed Behavior

<class 'ImportError'>
cannot import name 'DEVICE_STATUS_ACTIVE'

This has been replaced with DeviceStatusChoices. The documentation needs updating, but you can use this until then:

from dcim.choices import DeviceStatusChoices

DeviceStatusChoices.STATUS_ACTIVE
