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" and "Circuits > circuit" 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']
    }
}

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
