netbox-inventory 1.0.2

Inventory asset management in NetBox

netbox-inventory

Manage your hardware inventory in NetBox.

Features

Keep track of your hardware, whether it is installed or in storage. You can define assets that represent hardware that can be used as a device, module or inventory item in NetBox.

Each asset can have a storage location defined, when not in use. You can assign an asset to a device or module. The plugin can keep serial number and asset tag between asset and device or module in sync if enabled in settings.

To properly support inventory items (that are used in NetBox to model SFP and similar modules) the plugin defines inventory item types that are equivalent to device types and module types.

Automatic management of asset status

Each asset has a status attribute that can indicate use of the asset. These statuses can be set as needed by each NetBox installation.

Two statuses can have a special meaning. One to indicate asset is in storage and one to indicate asset is in use.

netbox_inventory can automatically set status to the value specified in used_status_name configuration item when an asset is assigned to a device, module or inventory item.

When you remove an asset from device, module or inventory item the plugin will set asset status to stored_status_name configuration item.

To disable automatically changing status, set these two config parameters to None.

asset_disable_editing_fields_for_tags	{}	A dictionary of tags and fields that should be disabled for editing. This is useful if you want to prevent editing of certain fields for certain assets. The dictionary is in the form of {tag: [field1, field2]}. Example: {'no-edit': ['serial_number', 'asset_tag']}. This only affects the UI, the API can still be used to edit the fields.
asset_disable_deletion_for_tags	[]	List of tags that will disable deletion of assets. This only affects the UI, not the API.
