Master branch build status

NetBox is an infrastructure resource modeling (IRM) tool designed to empower network automation, used by thousands of organizations around the world. Initially conceived by the network engineering team at DigitalOcean, NetBox was developed specifically to address the needs of network and infrastructure engineers. It is intended to function as a domain-specific source of truth for network operations.

Myriad infrastructure components can be modeled in NetBox, including:

  • Hierarchical regions, site groups, sites, and locations
  • Racks, devices, and device components
  • Cables and wireless connections
  • Power distribution
  • Data circuits and providers
  • Virtual machines and clusters
  • IP prefixes, ranges, and addresses
  • VRFs and route targets
  • FHRP groups (VRRP, HSRP, etc.)
  • AS numbers
  • VLANs and scoped VLAN groups
  • Organizational tenants and contacts

In addition to its extensive built-in models and functionality, NetBox can be customized and extended through the use of:

  • Custom fields
  • Custom links
  • Configuration contexts
  • Custom model validation rules
  • Reports
  • Custom scripts
  • Export templates
  • Conditional webhooks
  • Plugins
  • Single sign-on (SSO) authentication
  • NAPALM integration
  • Detailed change logging

NetBox also features a complete REST API as well as a GraphQL API for easily integrating with other tools and systems.

NetBox runs as a web application atop the Django Python framework with a PostgreSQL database. For a complete list of requirements, see requirements.txt. The code is available on GitHub.

The complete documentation for NetBox can be found at Read the Docs. A public demo instance is available at https://demo.netbox.dev.
