NetBox version

v2.11.9

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

It would be nice, if we can export the device ID (or even the complete URL) into a csv files using the already available export csv feature.

Use case

We would like to add the netbox URL into our CMDB to provide direct links.

Can be also useful for other usecases, if you can export the ID.

Database changes

You can make a custom export template that can contain all the fields you could ever wish for.
Did you try that functionality?

Checkout the webhooks as well, if you try to do more then a one-off /manual sync between netbox and another system

FWIW we could add an "ID" column to all object tables pretty easily, I think. It would be hidden by default but available.
