nautobot-app-livedata 2.4.0b1

Nautobot App Livedata is a Nautobot app that provides a live view of the network data.

Nautobot App Livedata

An App for Nautobot.

Overview

The Nautobot App LiveData is providing real-time data from network devices that are supported by Netmiko.

At the moment, the app is supporting only interface specific data. The data is collected from the devices via platform specific show commands and will be presented in the interface's 'Life Data' tab.

This app addresses the need for dynamic and up-to-date network information, allowing network administrators and engineers to make informed decisions based on the latest data.

!!! warning "Developer Note!" This app is currently in development and is not yet ready for production use.

The functionality is tested manually and works as expected.
Automated tests are not yet in place. 

The app is not yet available on PyPI.
