v2.6.0

Asset roles

Assets can have an asset role assigned to them. Asset roles can be organized in a tree similar to Device roles in netbox. Under each asset role there is a breakdown of a number of assets by their status. For example you can create Asset role for network switches and assign it to relevant assets. Then you can see under network switches role how many you still have available, how many are in use...

Thanks @Maksym-Ototiuk for contributing this feature.

Breaking change

If you have asset_disable_editing_fields_for_tags or asset_disable_deletion_for_tags, in your netbox inventory settings, note that these options were remove with this netbox-inventory version. Please read "Prevent unwanted changes for tagged assets" in README.md to see for an alternative method that uses netbox's Custom Validation rules.

• Change AuditFlow and BaseFlow object_type to point to ContentType by @matejv in #286
• Fix table initialization for NetBox 4.5.4 compatibility by @oomchiller in #288

Full Changelog: v2.5.0...v2.5.1

v2.5.0

This version of netbox-inventory is only compatible with netbox v4.5.0 and newer.

Breaking change

Netbox 4.5 introduced Resource Ownership. Netbox inventory adds support for setting object owners for the following objects:

• Assets
• Inventory Item Types
• Inventory Item Groups
• Suppliers
• Purchases
• Deliveries
• Audit Flows
• Audit Flow Pages
• Audit Flow Sources

To keep ownership experience consistent with the rest of netbox, existing owner field on Asset needed to be renamed. It is now called "owning tenant". This also better represents this asset - tenant relationship. This is a breaking change. Any existing API integrations, netbox scripts, export templates, custom links, event rules and permissions that reference Asset.owner need to be updated to use Asset.owning_tenant after the upgrade.

Existing Asset.owner data will be automatically migrated to Asset.owning_tenant during upgrade process (via DB migrations). This was tested on existing installs and seems to work fine. However it is highly recommended to take a database backup before the upgrade.

v2.2.0

What's Changed

• add support for racks and rack types by @matejv in #205
  Racks can now be part of netbox inventory the same way as devices and modules. One caveat: netbox allows you to create a rack without assigning rack type. Unfortunately *_types are deeply ingrained into netbox inventory, so to create racks from assets, you'll always need to have a rack type defined as well.
• Add filters on device role and inventory item role to assets by @matejv in #201
• remove option to filter for None in some location related filters by @matejv in #202
• allow changing device_type and module_type when assiging a new asset to device or module by @matejv in #203
• ensure change snapshots are created for hardware by @matejv in #206
• make asset general search lookup by assigned hardware names by @matejv in #208
• small improvements to global search & menu by @matejv in #209

• document use of netbox_attachments plugin by @matejv in #207
