Originally created by @ITJamie on GitHub (Aug 10, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.5.7

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

when an object change is made, log the source (UI or API) and the API token id(or name) if API token was used.

Use case

when a user makes a change to an object there is no details on the source of the change.
knowing if a user made a change by the UI or by the API can be useful to figure out why a change was made

it would also be great if there were filter forms to allow filtering for "UI or API" changes or changes by specific token

Database changes

two additional fields on the ObjectChange model

  • change_source (static choice of UI or API)
  • change_token_id (id of the API token to make the change (if used))

OR

one additional json field on the ObjectChange model to store the below as dict items

  • change_source (static choice of UI or API)
  • change_token_id (id of the API token to make the change (if used))

External dependencies

No response

it would also potentially be good to log the source IP too
