Originally created by @PieterL75 on GitHub (Oct 15, 2021).

NetBox version

v3.0.5

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

When running a CustomScript or Report, we get a waiting page that only shows that the script is running.

It would be nice to have a more 'live' view of the output of the script/report.
Whenever a self.log is done, it could be displayed immediately.
Also a 'cancel' button would be a nice addition.

Use case

First of all a better user experience when running reports that take some time to complete
(I have some reports that run +5min,due to external data being retrieved).

When creating reports/scripts that take a long time to run, the cancel button will help us to stop the engine of running the report and clear the queue.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

Just to give you a little more information, this would require a database update for each log(). It might not be feasible unless we pull it from somewhere else.

This sounds like a substantial amount of work for relatively little return. @PieterL75 are you interested in owning this?

I'm afraid that my coding skills and knowledge of django are not sufficient to be able to accomplish this. I might give it a shot of course, bit pretty sure you'll have a good laugh 😂
I'm more of a script writer and network implementor.
I hope someone else can take this.

Maybe some advise in how to debug Netbox scripts ?
My vscode can't handle it, so I have to rely on 'print' during the execution of the script...
step-by-step debugging would be great
