NetBox version

3.2.0

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Allow the disabling of, or filtering of, or limiting of the Non-Racked Devices widget on the Site, Location & Rack views.

It would be good to either:
a) Allow the inclusion of the widget to be disabled in configuration
b) Allow the number of results to be limited to a configurable option (Perhaps with a link to view the complete list)
c) Allow the non-racked devices to be filterable by configuration. I.e. I could exclude my "wireless-ap" tag to make the widget useful

Use case

The addition of the "Non-Racked Devices" widget in 3.1.10 results in slow load times for the site page and a huge page for the browser to render if you track many non-racked devices in a partcular site.

I track AP's as non-racked devices in Netbox for inventory purposes, some sites have in excess of 1000 AP's meaning the Site view is now huge, slow to load and pushes more useful information such as the Location Hierarcy or Contacts widget down to the bottom of the page.

Just spotted #8920 - That FR covers this use case.
