netbox-netdev-inventory 0.2.3

Microservice import into netbox devices in production

netbox-netprod-importer is a tool dedicated to help moving your current knowledge base to Netbox as an IPAM/DCIM, independently of your current information system. It connects to a given list of network devices, parse their status and configuration to import them into Netbox like they are currently configured.

It is thought to be generic and infrastructure agnostic. It means that imported data will probably need to be adapted by some custom scripts, like the specification of roles, tennant and other properties on objects.
