Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: v2.8.5

Proposed Functionality

Allow tags for rack groups, just like sites and racks

Use Case

We use rack groups to model modules at factories, it would be nice to tag these rack groups as "factory-module" so we don't get the other rack groups at the given site, when we query it.

Database Changes

Add "tag" field to rack groups

External Dependencies

None

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jul 7, 2020):

NetBox does not support tags on organizational models, such as rack groups, circuit types, etc. Tags are intended to be used in conjunction with such models to help organize and differentiate primary models (sites, racks, circuits, etc.).
