About Plugins
Plugins are packaged Django apps that can be installed alongside NetBox to provide custom functionality not present in the core application. Plugins can introduce their own models, views, and other resources, but cannot interfere with core components. A NetBox user may opt to install plugins provided by the community or build his or her own.
Plugins are supported on NetBox v2.8 and later.
Developing Plugins
Anyone is free and welcome to develop a plugin for NetBox. This can be a project that you use internally within your organization, an open source project, or even a commercial product. To get started with a plugin, we suggest first completing the official development tutorial. This will walk you through the process of creating a plugin from scratch. From there, the plugins framework documentation should have everything you need.
- Plugin Development Tutorial (requires NetBox v3.2+)
- Plugins Documentation
Plugin Support
Please note that each plugin is its own project and maintained by its respective owner(s). The NetBox core team cannot provide assistance with plugin-specific issues. If you run into a problem installing or using a plugin, please consult the plugin's documentation to determine where to ask for help. (Generally, users will be advised to submit an issue to the plugin's repository on GitHub or elsewhere.)
NetBox Labs Plugin Certification Program
Plugin maintainers may apply to have their plugins certified by NetBox Labs through the Plugin Certification Program.
