Netbox agent

This project aims to create hardware automatically into Netbox based on standard tools (dmidecode, lldpd, parsing /sys/, etc).

The goal is to generate an existing infrastructure on Netbox and have the ability to update it regularly by executing the agent.

Features

• Create servers, chassis and blade through standard tools (dmidecode)
• Create physical network interfaces with IPs
• Generic ability to guess datacenters through drivers (cmd and file and custom ones)

Configuration

 url: 'http://netbox.internal.company.com'
 token: supersecrettoken

datacenter_location:
 # driver_file: /opt/netbox_driver_dc.py
 driver: file:/etc/qualification
 regex: "datacenter: (?P<datacenter>[A-Za-z0-9]+)"
# driver: 'cmd:lldpctl'
# regex = 'SysName: .*\.(?P<datacenter>[A-Za-z0-9]+)'```

TODO

• Handle blade moving
• Handle network cards (MAC, IP addresses)
• Handle switch <> NIC connections (using lldp)
• Handle blade and server local changes (new NIC, new RAM, etc) using somekind of diff
• CPU, RAID Card(s), RAM, Disks in Device's Inventory
• CustomFields support with firmware versions for Device (BIOS), RAID Cards and disks
