Bring back power feed utilisation graph to rack view
NetBox version
v3.6.6
Feature type
Change to existing functionality
Proposed functionality
The rack view used to show power feeds in a panel complete with a utilisation graph for each individual feed. While the overall power capacity is still shown, since the removal of this panel it is difficult to see whether the power utilisation is unbalanced between feeds in a rack.
I'd like to propose that the utilisation graph is made available in the power feeds list view. This would be included by default when viewing the filtered power feeds list reached through the 'related objects' link on the rack view.
Use case
I have a custom script which retrieves live(ish) power consumption statistics from my power management system and populates the power allocation field in the connected power ports. This information informs the power feed utilisation and allows me to see whether individual PDUs in a rack are balanced. More importantly, seeing the individual utilisation helps me ensure I'm not overloading one feed while under loading another - at present all I'd see is that the power availability on the rack is safely within parameters.

This function existed in 3.2.9 . Why was it removed? This is critical to managing a robust data center operation.
@cpmills1975 @RichZad If I work on this could either of you do some tests / provide some feedback on it to help make sure it is working correctly?
Why was it removed?
IIRC there were several issues with utilization being reported inaccurately.
