[Feature]: Logging option

[cyberndj]

NetBox version

v3.2.7

Feature type

Add a function

Proposed functionality

Include Logging option/selection for specific ACL entries. Add a menu option for each rule if logging is needed and what type of logging is required. ie "log" vs "log-input"

Use case

Some rules need logging on them so the logged info can be sent to external systems for processing (ie. a SIEM tool). Having the info on including the log attribute to the rule would aid in getting more complete info about an ACL.

External dependencies

none

Great idea, I totally forgot about this.
I apologize for the long delay!

It feels like this should be an optional attribute since not all platforms require this.

Since this is optional, maybe one attribute that includes the options:

• None/default
• log
• log-input

@cyberndj Let me know what you think, and we can add to the model, ui, and api.

If you wanted to take a stab at it, its a good fist PR for someone not requiring a ton of python or django knowledge.

Hey @ryanmerolle That sounds good as you put it. When its added, I'll test it out in my 3.4 instance.

Thanks!

Thanks to @cruse1977 for the original work! I’ve rebased it onto dev-2.0 and brought it up to date:

• Renamed logging → log_option
• Renamed LoggingChoiceSet → ACLRuleLogOptionChoiceSet
• Updated/added tests
• Added a filter and wired it into ACLRuleFilterForm
• Added help_text on the field
• Updated the migration
• Added get_logging_color() for UI badges

Branch for review: https://github.com/pheus/netbox-acls/tree/57-add-acl-rule-logging-option

Feedback welcome!
