An NetBox plugin to create Topology maps
Project description
Netbox Topology Views Plugin
Create topology views/maps from your devices in netbox. The connections are based on the cables you created in netbox. Support to filter on name, site, tag and device role.
Preview
Install
The plugin is available as a Python package and can be installed with pip.
Run pip install netbox-topology-views in your virtual env.
To ensure NetBox Topology Views plugin is automatically re-installed during future upgrades, create a file named local_requirements.txt (if not already existing) in the NetBox root directory (alongside requirements.txt) and list the netbox-topology-views package:
# echo netbox-topology-views >> local_requirements.txt
Once installed, the plugin needs to be enabled in your configuration.py
# In your configuration.py
PLUGINS = ["netbox_topology_views"]
Then run python3 manage.py collectstatic --no-input

Custom field: coordinates
There is also support for custom fields.
If you create a custom field "coordinates" for "dcim > device" with type "text" and name "coordinates" you will see the same layout every time.
The coordinates can then be provided as: "X;Y"
Configure
If you want to override the default values configure the PLUGINS_CONFIG in your netbox configuration.py.
Example:
PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
'netbox_topology_views': {
'device_img': ['router','switch', 'firewall'],
'preselected_device_roles': ['Router', 'Firewall']
}
}

|---|---|---|
| device_img | ['access-switch', 'core-switch', 'firewall', 'router', 'distribution-switch', 'backup', 'storage,wan-network', 'wireless-ap', 'server', 'internal-switch', 'isp-cpe-material', 'non-racked-devices', 'power-units'] | The slug of the device roles that you have a image for. |
| preselected_device_roles | ['Firewall', 'Router', 'Distribution Switch', 'Core Switch', 'Internal Switch', 'Access Switch', 'Server', 'Storage', 'Backup', 'Wireless AP'] | The full name of the device roles you want to pre select in the global view. Note that this is case sensitive |
| preselected_intermediate_dev_roles | ['Patch-panel'] | The full name of the device roles you want to display in the global view when using end-to-end connections mode. Note that this is case sensitive |
| allow_coordinates_saving | False | (bool) Set to true if you use the custom coordinates fields and want to save the coordinates |
| ignore_cable_type | ['power outlet', 'power port'] | The cable types that you want to ignore in the views |
| preselected_tags | '[]' | The name of tags you want to preload |
| enable_circuit_terminations | False | (bool) Set to true if you want to see circuit terminations in the topology |

If you add your own image you also need to add the slug to the device_img setting.
