New Behavior

Adds the GUI information Cluster -> Device to the plugin's response. See output of ansible-inventory:

    "cluster_device": {
        "display": "proxmox-host-01",
        "id": 01,
        "name": "proxmox-host-01",
        "url": "https://net.box/api/dcim/devices/01/"
    },

Contrast to Current Behavior

So far, the inventory plugin does not return any information about the "Device" a VM is assigned to. Only the cluster name or type are available.

Discussion: Benefits and Drawbacks

This change allows defining a Device/Host a VM should run on. Sometimes specific VMs must run on a specific host. Ansible may pick up that information, for example creating the VM on that host. In general, if that information is available in the UI, it will be beneficial to have it returned to Ansible as well. Tested in NetBox 3.6.

Changes to the Documentation

Since this is not supposed to be a group_by parameter, no changes are required.

Proposed Release Note Entry

Add the cluster.device information to the plugin response.
