Installation

pip install netbox-atlassian

Add to configuration.py:

PLUGINS = [
    "netbox_atlassian",
]

Configuration

PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    "netbox_atlassian": {
        # Jira settings (on-prem)
        "jira_url": "https://jira.example.com",
        "jira_username": "api_user",
        "jira_password": "api_token_or_password",
        "jira_verify_ssl": True,
        "jira_projects": [],  # Empty = all projects

        # Confluence settings (on-prem)
        "confluence_url": "https://confluence.example.com",
        "confluence_token": "personal-access-token",  # PAT (preferred)
        # OR use username/password:
        # "confluence_username": "api_user",
        # "confluence_password": "api_password",
        "confluence_verify_ssl": True,
        "confluence_spaces": [],  # Empty = all spaces

        # Search configuration
        "search_fields": [
            {"name": "Hostname", "attribute": "name", "enabled": True},
            {"name": "Serial", "attribute": "serial", "enabled": True},
            {"name": "Asset Tag", "attribute": "asset_tag", "enabled": False},
            {"name": "Role", "attribute": "role.name", "enabled": False},
            {"name": "Primary IP", "attribute": "primary_ip4.address", "enabled": False},
        ],

        # Results limits
        "jira_max_results": 10,
        "confluence_max_results": 10,

        # General
        "timeout": 30,
        "cache_timeout": 300,
        "device_types": [],  # Filter by manufacturer (empty = all)
        "enable_legacy_ssl": False,  # Enable for older servers
    }
}

Search Fields

The search_fields configuration defines which device attributes are searched. Searches use OR logic - content matching any enabled field will be returned.

Field	Attribute Path	Description
Hostname	name	Device name
Serial	serial	Serial number
Asset Tag	asset_tag	Asset tag
Role	role.name	Device role name
Primary IP	primary_ip4.address	Primary IPv4 address
Site	site.name	Site name
Tenant	tenant.name	Tenant name

Custom Fields

You can search custom fields using dot notation:

{"name": "CMDB ID", "attribute": "custom_field_data.cmdb_id", "enabled": True}

Screenshots

Device Tab

Shows Jira issues and Confluence pages in a split view:

• Left: Jira issues with key, summary, status, and type
• Right: Confluence pages with title, space, and breadcrumb

Settings Page

View current configuration and test connections to Jira/Confluence.

API Endpoints

The plugin adds these endpoints:

Endpoint	Method	Description
/plugins/atlassian/settings/	GET	View settings
/plugins/atlassian/test-jira/	POST	Test Jira connection
/plugins/atlassian/test-confluence/	POST	Test Confluence connection

Troubleshooting

Connection Errors

1. Verify URLs are correct and accessible from NetBox server
2. Check username/password or API token
3. For on-prem, ensure verify_ssl matches your certificate setup
4. Check firewall rules allow outbound HTTPS

SSL Renegotiation Errors

If you see "unsafe legacy renegotiation disabled" errors, enable legacy SSL:

"enable_legacy_ssl": True,

This is required for some older Confluence/Jira servers.

No Results

1. Verify search fields are enabled in configuration
2. Check that Jira/Confluence content contains the device attributes
3. Review project/space filters if configured
4. Check API user has read permissions

Slow Performance

1. Increase cache_timeout to reduce API calls
2. Reduce max_results values
3. Use project/space filters to limit search scope
