Using single service for multiple virtual machines/devices #17245

Open betadrome opened 3 months ago

betadrome commented 3 months ago

NetBox version

v4.0.9

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

I am proposing a new feature in NetBox that would allow a single service to be associated with multiple virtual machines or devices. It would therefore be good if you could either specify no virtual machine/device at all or as many as possible. In other cases, it can also be useful if you can specify devices and virtual machines at the same time, although I can't think of a direct example at the moment.

Use case

For example, in the context of a high-availability cluster, it is usually not defined on which virtual machine or on which devices exactly the service is currently running. Classic examples here would be:

Database changes

Probably

External dependencies

Since the feature already exists in this form, I don't think so

I think my FR (if implemented) would also accomplish what you're asking for: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/17196
