NetBox version

v2.11

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Much like we have in the Site option (https://beta.netbox.dev/dcim/sites/24/). where a specific page is show for Stats where racks, devices or circuits is shown like the image bellow
image

In the new design where a location may represent a room, or some other nested object( room/aisle), it will be interesting to have the same stats information provided.
When Location represents a DC Room we can easily identify all the Racks inside, and most important we can also use the Images tab to document to room layout.

Use case

When Locations represent specific DC Rooms, or technical rooms the introduction of these fields under the Location main page (https://beta.netbox.dev/dcim/locations/8/) can be used to improve the documentation of the environment:

  • Images can be used to identify the rack layouts, and details on how to reach the locations
  • Stats can be used to summarize the total number of devices and racks inside that location.

Database changes

Additional fields are required to add the details for Images associated with a location.

External dependencies

none
