Originally created by @advoenkin on GitHub (Jun 30, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.5.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Sometimes, a certain module needs to be untied from the device and simply left, roughly speaking, "in storage". At the moment, the module can only be deleted. And this is bad for if the module has important entries in the journal.

Use case

Suppose you have some module installed in your device and it is broken. You bought and installed a new module, and sent the old one for repair. The corresponding entries were added to the journal, the module was untied from the device and put, so to speak, "in storage". Thus, you will have the old module with its serial number and log entries, but decoupled from the device. Which you can then apply to any other device at any time.

I think the idea is clear enough.

Asset tracking has been intentionally omitted from NetBox's feature scope at this time. It's possible we may consider adding it in the future, but it is not currently under consideration.
