NetBox version

v3.2.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Most of the time, a device is associated with a warranty contract with an expiry date, for example 1 year.

I would like it to have a field that could put the device's warranty expiration date and another field that would show the warranty status based on the current date, that is, I would have to read the current date and subtract from the warranty expiration date to show how much time the device is still under warranty.

Use case

This would allow users to quickly obtain strategic information for decision making from the management team.

Keeping a device under warranty is highly recommended in large IT companies, whether public or private.

Database changes

I'm not sure.

External dependencies

I'm not sure.

A custom field and a report that checks that field can do what you need.

Hello. There are many features that could be solved with custom fields, but I believe that these are for peculiar features of each system user. In this case, features like the one I suggested make sense to most users of the system, I think it could be native to NetBox.

Similar or identical issues that were denied in the past:

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/182 https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/1539 https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/4314 https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/424

I think the reasoning in #182 still applies, that it's a good fit for a plugin.

Yep, this has been discussed numerous times and is out of scope for NetBox core. You're welcome to build a plugin that suits your needs.
