Installing

Activate venv

To ensure our plugin is accessible to the NetBox installation, we first need to activate the Python virtual environment that was created when we installed NetBox. To do this, determine the virtual environment's path (this will be /opt/netbox/venv/ if you use the documentation's defaults) and activate it:

$ source /opt/netbox/venv/bin/activate

Install the package

$ python3 -m pip install netbox-contract

Configure NetBox

Finally, we need to configure NetBox to enable our new plugin. In the NetBox installation directory, open netbox/netbox/configuration.py and locate the PLUGINS parameter; it should be an empty list. (If it's not yet defined, go ahead and create it.) Add the name of our plugin to this list:

# configuration.py
PLUGINS = [
    'netbox_contract',
]

Customize the plugin

The following configuration items can be set:

# configuration.py
PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    'netbox_contract': {
        'top_level_menu': True,
        'mandatory_contract_fields': [],
        'hidden_contract_fields': [],
        'mandatory_invoice_fields': [],
        'hidden_invoice_fields': [],
        'mandatory_dimensions': [],
        'supported_models': [
            'circuits.circuit',
            'circuits.virtualcircuit',
            'dcim.site',
            'dcim.device',
            'dcim.rack',
            'virtualization.virtualmachine',
            'virtualization.cluster',
            'ipam.ipaddress',
            'ipam.prefix',
        ],
        'contract_assignments_display': 'both',  # options: 'tab', 'inline', 'both'
    }
}

• top_level_menu : If "Contracts" appears under the "Plugins" menu item or on its own
• contract_assignments_display:
  • 'tab' - only the Contracts view tab is visible on the related object page.
  • 'inline' - only the inline contract assignments table is shown in object detail; the Contracts tab is hidden.
  • 'both' - both tab and inline table are shown (default behavior).
• default_accounting_dimensions: The accounting dimensions which will appear in the field' background when empty. Note that accounting dimensions are now managed as individual objects. The use of this field is deprecated.
• mandatory_contract_fields, mandatory_invoice_fields: Fields which are not required by default and can be set as such. The list of fields is at the bottom of the contract import form.
• hidden_contract_fields, hidden_invoice_fields: List of fields to be hidden. Fields should not be required to be hidden.

Customize the plugin fields choices

Internal party reference the legal entity of your organization that is a party to the contract.
The first currency will also be the default currency for contracts.

# configuration.py
FIELD_CHOICES = {
    'netbox_contract.Contract.internal_party': (
        ('default', 'Default entity', 'green'),
        ('entity1', 'Entity 1', 'green'),
        ('entity2', 'Entity 2', 'yellow'),
    ),
    'netbox_contract.Contract.currency': (
        ('usd', 'USD'),  # 1st position is the default currency
        ('eur', 'EUR'),
        ('chf', 'CHF'),
        ('pln', 'PLN'),
    ),
    'netbox_contract.Contract.status': (
        ('active', 'Active', 'green'),
        ('canceled', 'Canceled', 'red'),
    )
    'netbox_contract.Invoice.status': (
        ('draft', 'Draft', 'yellow'),
        ('posted', 'Posted', 'green'),
        ('canceled', 'Canceled', 'red'),
