# Contextual Configuration Data
Sometimes it is desirable to associate arbitrary data with a group of devices to aid in their configuration. (For example, you might want to associate a set of syslog servers for all devices at a particular site.) Context data enables the association of arbitrary data (expressed in JSON format) to devices and virtual machines grouped by region, site, role, platform, and/or tenancy. Context data is arranged hierarchically, so that data with a higher weight can be entered to override more general lower-weight data. Multiple instances of data are automatically merged by NetBox to present a single dictionary for each object.
