[Feature]: create netbox_journal
ISSUE TYPE
- Feature Idea
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
NetBox:
Any netbox > 2.11.0 supports this.
SUMMARY
Support for creating/delete journals in ansible would be nice!
@ThomasADavis How do you suggest we add this? Add this onto each module as a dictionary, or create a separate module for journals?
Our goal is to use the journal as an audit log of ansible runs against that object (device/vm) I want to place an Ansible ARA URL into the journal. So, yes, I'm happy to be the test subject, and try to document this. What hasn't been decide is do we modify a specific journal entry, appending runs to it, or create an separate journal entry for each run.
since it's an separate API call (/extras/journal-entries), and that api can create/modify existing entries, I would like to see a module 1st.
There's also /extras/image-attachments and /extras/webhooks which would be good to have.
I would look at the tags module, it's an /extras/tag api call..
Not sure if any of the other modules does 2 separate API calls.
so the tags and the config_context are /extra api modules. so, which name for this?
netbox_journal or netbox_extra_journal
{
assigned_object_type* string
title: Assigned object type
assigned_object_id* integer
title: Assigned object id
maximum: 2147483647
minimum: 0
created_by integer
title: Created by
x-nullable: true
kind string
title: Kind
Enum: [ info, success, warning, danger ]
comments* string
title: Comments
minLength: 1
}
created_by == user_id kind == one of [ info, success, warning, danger ]
assigned_object_type can be: 'virtualization.virtualmachine' 'dcim.device' sites can have a journal entry. vlans can have a journal entry.
and so on.. makes it an individual module.
lookup module is missing journal support and few other extras..
so the tags and the config_context are /extra api modules. so, which name for this?
netbox_journal or netbox_extra_journal
As no other modules has the extra/dcim/ipam prefix, I think a simple netbox_journal
should suffice. I can look into adding the lookup support for the few extras missing.
yea, I was going to add at least journal support to the lookup module and create the journal module, and then use both for the test part
but I've been slammed at work, so little free time.. we need journal support as an security audit showed us this to record ARA playbooks URL's.
