Device Lifecycle Management
Overview
An app for Nautobot to manage device lifecycles. This app works by making related associations to Devices, Device Types, and Inventory Items to help provide data about the hardware end of life notices, appropriate software versions to be running on the devices, and the maintenance contracts associated with devices. This will help with the various aspects of planning Lifecycle events, and provides quick access to ancillary data about the devices in Nautobot.
Key Features
- Hardware and software lifecycle tracking for devices, device types, and inventory items.
- Maintenance contract management and reporting.
- Automated CVE Discovery and NIST Integration:
- Automatically discover and associate CVEs to software versions in Nautobot using the NIST NVD API 2.0 (#440).
- Configure an External Integration and Secret for your NIST API key, then run the "NIST - Software CVE Search" job to keep your CVE data up to date.
- See the CVE Tracking documentation for setup and usage details.
Screenshots
More screenshots can be found in the Using the App page in the documentation. Here's a quick overview of some of the app's added functionality:
Device Lifecycle Management List View
You can view the list of Hardware/Software notices as well as filter the table.
Device Lifecycle Management Detail View
You can also click a Hardware/Software Notice and see the detail view. This view provides links to the devices that are part affected by this EoX notice due to their device type.
Software Lifecycle Reporting
Reports can be created from the Nautobot's software validation jobs Device Software Validation - Report or Inventory Item Software Validation - Report.
Individual CSV files can be exported per platform or inventory item.
Sample CSV.
You can also view validation results as a list from the Nautobot GUI.
