Nautobot Plugin Nornir
Overview
A plugin for Nautobot, that intends to be a small shim layer between nornir-nautobot and other plugins. The primary abilities that the plugin provides is a native Nornir ORM based inventory and a credential manager.
As of the writing of this readme, the only plugin leveraging this plugin is the golden-config. However, future plugins are planned, such as the "network importer".
That being said, there is currently little reason to install this plugin by itself, without an enabler, which can be seen represented as the white rectangles inside the yellow rectangle in the diagram above. An enabler could be a Plugin, Job, or another piece of code like a Chatops command.
Screenshots
As previously mentioned, the plugin is mostly a shim layer, here is an example of how Nautobot Golden Config uses a Nornir Job.
Try it out!
This App is installed in the Nautobot Community Sandbox found over at demo.nautobot.com! This is used within the Nautobot Golden Config plugin, when the tasks of generating config, running backup of configs, or comparing configs.
