Connect to external databases #18780
Description
NetBox version
4.1.11
Feature type
Data model extension
Proposed functionality
I have a very specific use case, I'm developing a plugin, and I need to query an external DB.
I thought about being able to define the connection on configuration.py and them merging with Netbox's default db
Here's POC:
Would you accept a PR for this?
Use case
You can create a model in a plugin which can query other databases, like
class MyPluginModel(models.model):
# ...
MyPluginModel.objects.using('otherdbconnection')Maybe we can even define a custom router to avoid using:
