Originally created by @top1ing on GitHub (Apr 18, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.2.1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

In addition to "created" and "last_updated" info in objects would be useful add "modified_by_user" with username who modified the object in last time.

Use case

Usage different NetBox user for external scripts (e.g. "script_user") and "modified_by_user" in webhook conditional logic to prevent unneccesary webhook re-triggering in case where script change something of NetBox object.
{ "and": [ { "attr": "modified_by_user", "value": "script_user", "negate": true } ] }

For example, we are trying to use webhook for autocreating, updating and deleting host in NMS when a device is changed in NetBox. For better integration, after create host in NMS script add value of NMS_host_id in NetBox Device custom field "NMS_HOST_ID". But this leads to another generation of the Update event and the unneccesary Webhook trigerring.

Doesn't the changelog for objects already store this information, through a couple intermediate links?

This is true.
But the idea was to use a webhook conditional logic to prevent retrigerring webhook target.
Actually, for what webhook conditional logic is used.
