Flattening causes Import failure because of Context Data about icingaweb2-module-netboximport

The flattening is the kinda-solution to me failing at importing the data as properly structured json :) it seems like you're also hitting problems there.

Dont expose the context_data to Icinga

I can't find any documentation or even code on context_data. Can you expand a bit on what exactly it contains? :) I am probably fine with just dropping it, though.

I dont use the context data by myself in netbox but here is the link to to documentation https://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/additional-features/context-data/

oooh, it's a netbox feature, of course. I was looking for icinga docs m(
hm, that actually sounds like useful. Maybe just drop all keys which are too long and document that in the README? Would you like to write a small PR? :)

[joni1993]

Just dropping the keys sounds wrong to me. Maybe just get rid of the flattening. But I need to get more into your code to understand it fully, because of the way interfaces are merged with the hosts.

PR is out. I decided its probably the best (e.g. easiest 😃 ) idea just not to flatten the local_context_data and encode it back to JSON, because it essentially is stored as JSON in Netbox.
