### Customizable Reporting ###
NetBox includes [customized reporting][netbox-reports-doc] that allows the user to write Python code and determine the validity of the data within NetBox. The `REPORTS_ROOT` variable is setup as a mapped directory within this Docker container to `/reports/` and includes the example directly from the documentation for `devices.py`. However, it has been renamed to `devices.py.example` which prevents NetBox from recognizing it as a valid report. This was done to avoid unnessary issues from being opened when the default does not work for someone's expectations.
To re-enable this default report, simply rename `devices.py.example` to `devices.py` and browse within the WebUI to `/extras/reports/`.
You can also dynamically add any other report to this same directory and NetBox will be able to see it without restarting the container.
