NetBox version

v3.0.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

When using a UPS between a power feed and PDU you currently don't get any load displayed on the power feed or rack.
Power Panel --> Power Feed --> UPS --> PDU --> Device
Currently you should leave the UPS away to get a power usage.
If possible this way without infinite sub levels, only this one.

Use case

It would be helpful to have this for people who use this as a buffer between PDU and power feed.

Looks like netbox traces only one layer of power draw. It would be very nice if it traces power even on series of PDUs between Power feed > UPS and devices.

I'm not clear on what's being proposed here. Please take some time to describe in detail the proposed implementation. Examples would be fantastic.

Sorry for the late reply, but I was on vacation.
We've updated to v3.0.8 and it looks like this was fixed, though it was not mentioned in the release notes.
