Nesting Sites
I would like to nest sites. Example being I have an over arching "Main Campus" and inside of there I have sites for individual buildings. Perhaps I have a group of devices within a building that I want to treat differently than all others but still see it within the containing building (site).
We've talked about that before using the "Location" concept. Is this kind of what you're thinking?
See: https://github.com/dropbox/nsot/issues/186
This would solve the aggregation part of it, but I also want to see the statistics provided in the dashboard. I.e networks in use for a nested site/location. As it stands though, I think this is a duplicate of #186 unless this idea of the dashboard intelligence is different.
To mirror what we discussed on Slack:
I really want to be able to have dashboarding done by existing attributes, since attributes are all user-defined, I think this would be an interesting way to tackle dashboarding from that perspective.
For example I'd like to have a dashboard for devices showing stats by vendor, hw_type
So perhaps a winning dashboard solution would be to choose the attributes you want to see. And if it's a nestable object such as location, (e.g. has parent/children)... to have it be viewable as such Attribute-based dashboard widgets of sorts.
