Nautobot Type Re-Apply

This plugin inserts a button to re-apply device types on a device on demand.

Please note that this plugin uses internal Nautobot components, which is explicitly discouraged by the documentation. We promise to keep the plugin up to date, but the latest version might break on unsupported Nautobot version. Your mileage may vary.

Installation

The plugin can be found on pypi. You should therefore be able to install it using pip:

pip install nautobot-type-reapply

Make sure to use the same version of pip that manages Nautobot, so if you’ve set up a virtual environment, you will have to use <venv>/bin/pip instead.

After that, you should be able to install the plugin as described in the Nautobot documentation. No change to PLUGINS_CONFIG is necessary.

Usage

Once this plugin is installed, a button will appear on devices that allows you to reapply the device type, which will add and delete device components according to the definition of the type.

You will be asked for confirmation and all changes that will be applied will be listed before the actual operation.

Have fun!
