[Feature]: Reflect ACL rule modifications in the parent ACL’s changelog

Open pheus opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

NetBox version

v4.4.1

Feature type

Change to existing model

Proposed functionality

When an ACL rule is created/updated/deleted, record a corresponding change on the parent ACL’s changelog so that ACL-centric history shows rule changes as well.

  • Hook into the change-logging path so that rule mutations add an entry to the parent ACL’s changelog.
  • Ensure entries are clearly associated with the rule change (action + timestamp; include references as feasible).

Use case

  • Improve operational visibility: administrators reviewing an ACL should see rule-level changes in the ACL’s history.
  • Reduce the need to drill into individual rules to reconstruct change context.

External dependencies

  • None.

Compatibility & upgrade impact

  • No migrations expected.
  • No API contract changes expected.
