Configuration Contexts
Context data is made available to devices and/or virtual machines based on their relationships to other objects in NetBox. For example, context data can be associated only with devices assigned to a particular site, or only to virtual machines in a certain cluster.
See the context data documentation for more information.
Fields
Name
A unique human-friendly name.
Weight
A numeric value which influences the order in which context data is merged. Contexts with a lower weight are merged before those with a higher weight.
Profile
The profile to which the config context is assigned (optional). Profiles can be used to enforce structure in their data.
Data
The context data expressed in JSON format.
Data File
Config context data may optionally be sourced from a remote data file, which is synchronized from a remote data source. When designating a data file, there is no need to specify local data for the config context: It will be populated automatically from the data file.
Is Active
If not selected, this config context will be excluded from rendering. This can be convenient to temporarily disable a config context.
Object Assignment
Each configuration context may be assigned with any number of objects of the supported types. If no related objects are selected, it will be considered a "global" config context and apply to all devices and virtual machines.
