netbox

I have an interest for tools in this area. Is this offering something you couldn’t get by using something like netbox[1] or Nautobot[2]? 1: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox 2: https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot

Theres many. Here is one Discussion/issue that is currently annoying me again. https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions/9515 https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/20005 Netbox is full of these kinds of things. Where people ask for stuff or even create PRs for it and the Maintainer of Netbox shoots it down because reason.

This would be a perfect plugin for Netbox! (https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox)

Look at the issue list...that is why. https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues?q=is%3Aiss... Note how they want to be "NetBox functions as the source of truth for your network infrastructure." Your individual situation dictates what is important, but had netbox targeted being a central repository vs insisting on not allow other systems to be truthful for certain items it could be a different story. We have learned that trying to centralize complexity and control doesn't work, heck we knew that almost immediately after the Clinger Cohen Act passed and even ITIL and TOGAF fully call this out now and I expect this to be targeted by consultants over the next few years. You need a central constant way to find state, to remove any questions or doubt regarding where to find the authoritative information, but generally if you aspire to s

This is a pretty decent write up. One thing that comes to mind is why would you write your own internal tooling for managing a rack when Netbox exists? Netbox is fantastic and I wish I had this back in the mid 2000s when I was managing 50+ racks. https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox

For larger networks, Python-based NetBox from Digital Ocean can generate some diagrams from network asset database. https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox > NetBox functions as the source of truth for your network infrastructure. Its job is to define and validate the intended state of all network components and resources. NetBox does not interact with network nodes directly.. This separation of duties enables the construction of a robust yet flexible automation system. https://github.com/netbox-community/devicetype-library > Each file represents a discrete physical device type (e.g. make and model). These definitions can be loaded into NetBox instead of creating new device type definitions manually. https://github.com/Abulhallaj/netbox-deviceimage > Device images in PNG format and arranged by manufacturer. Each file represents front a

for the love of god please vote for this missing feature https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/11721 and save me from having to use nautobot instead, (which might actually be better long-run, hm)

"The site" is actually just their blog. The github repo at https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox is more like the real homepage and has a good presentation.

It's frontend uses a JS framework though [1], and transpiles it to the static directory. It's HTMX though, which is refreshing to see. [1] https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/tree/develop/netb...

gh repo is a bit better on details, and has screenshots: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox There is a demo instance here: https://demo.netbox.dev/

Pre-trained systems dominate AI today (as deep as the P in GPT). My team and I have been researching and building alternatives given how the hallucination, blackbox and other problems don't seem solvable within* the current paradigm. One of our first applications is a network automation solution for Netbox-- locally trained AI Agents unique to each Netbox account to predict roles of newly added devices given the current local list of devices, like a context-aware autocomplete. Agents are lightweight by design, this particular Netbox Agent is 40-neuron, and when hooked up demo.netbox.dev and consistently gets 80%+ accuracy predicting device roles even when trained on ~60 devices only. Try it out: https://aolabs-netbox.streamlit.app/ You can use dummy data from demo.netbox.dev. More on Netbox: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox We'd

IT wise, It's been a fair few years since I've been in a department that does asset management, we used to use GLPI with it's warts and all, which got replace with https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox
