NetBox version

v3.3.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

I'd like to be able to filter journals by location.

Use case

We have 10 data centers globally. When techs arrive at one, they'd like to be able to pull a report of all machines that have a certain type and tag on their journals, but for that location specifically.

Database changes

I don't think any new fields would be necessary.

External dependencies

I don't think any are needed. It's just a new filter field.

Journal entries can be attached to many different object types, most of which have no relationship to a location. I'm not sure it's possible to filter across a GenericForeignKey relationship in this manner.

Closing this as it doesn't appear to be feasible.
