Deleting netbox in background with navclean #1542
Conversation
The deletion of netbox is now done by navclean, by checking the column updated by pre_delete_operation.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This looks pretty good, but I realize now that we need a followup on this. Since netboxes are now deleted only in 5 minute intervals, there should be some indicator in other parts of the interface that the device has been scheduled for deletion.
Something like a big red mark next to it, or using a strikethrough on the device name etc. @jmbredal can likely make some good suggestions here....
There's also the question of what happens when deleting a netbox takes more than 5 minutes - what happens to the next navclean process?

To clarify: A followup for the interface bits deserve a PR of its own. But I would like you to test what happens when the delete takes more than 5 minutes - maybe introducing an artificial delay is better than inserting millions of cam rows.... |
This change makes the deletion of netbox be done in the background, so that the user do not need to busy-wait for it. A cronjob for deleting netboxes every 5 minutes has also been added.
Should fix #1313
