Scalable & Flexible Discovery
Scheduling & Orchestration
Schedule jobs to pull data from network devices via SSH and management (any other) systems via API
- Scales to hundreds of thousands of jobs with Airflow
- Sync and pre-stage data in data warehouse
- Leverage TextFSM to parse Ansible output from devices
- Push data to other systems
DAG Status & Audit Trail
Track the status of all DAG runs within the NetBox UI, either as standalone plugins, or as part of Netos Pod. For example, success, failure, and other polling or data sync outcomes.
- Polling DAGs collect data from the network (SSH)
- Data DAGs sync network data into NetBox via APIs
- Data Feed DAGs sync enrichment data from APIs
Device Polling Tracker
Track the status of every device polling job down to command level. The data can be used for reporting, and advanced logic, such as dampening future polling jobs.
- Log unreachable devices
- Track authentication failures
- Track command authorization failures
Customize Every Polling Job
Polling Templates allow you to select any combination of devices from your inventory for network discovery. From a few devices, to 50k devices, for example:
- Partner managed Fortinet MPLS routers
- Palo Alto firewalls in EMEA data centers
- Cisco LAN switches detected in branch offices
- Attempt to re-poll offline devices
- PCI DSS in-scope routers for audit
Scale with Airflow
Airflow syncs jobs with NetBox and provides seamless scalability to orchestrate discovery across your network.
- Scale to millions of concurrent (queued) tasks
- Full visibility into every task, down to command level
- Full state synchronization with NetBox
- Prioritize jobs into different scheduling pools
Network State via API
All network data is pre-staged across multiple NoSQL indexes. You can pull the time-series network data in JSON format from the backend API for your own purposes, i.e. modelling a Network Digital Twin.
- Historical device and inventory snapshots
- Historical Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding tables
- Historical routing adjacencies
- Historical MAC and ARP tables
- Historical LLDP and CDP tables
- Historical port (interface) states
Lock Down Data Quality & Compliance
software Compliance
Report on whether devices are compliant according to your standard software versions, by device type.
- Breakdown of status by site region, site, and role
- Macro view of all software versions by Device Role
- Macro view of status by Operating System
- Click the charts and drill down into the inventory tables
Reconciliation & Reachability
Keep your inventory clean by managing unreachable devices and logical changes. For example, switches replaced under BAU (operations) or from a decommissioned site.
- Discrepancies between the Source of Truth and poller
- Devices that have dropped off the network
- Modules removed from devices
- Logical changes such as undetected routing prefixes
Reconciled Source of Truth
Detailed view of every device and its compliance status, with the option to reconcile any discrepancies. For example, a serial number change in a swapped line card or Device Type change following a router upgrade.
- Available at both Device and Inventory level
- Bulk reconcile changes (useful during initial setup)
- Full audit trail for reconciliation actions
Seed Logical & Physical NetBox Inventories
Devices & Inventory
Auto-discover and map out physical and logical network topologies. Seed NetBox tables and find gaps in your network.
- Devices & Inventory Items
- IPAM (IP Addresses and Prefixes)
- Cables, using CDP and LLDP
- Interfaces & Port-Channels
- VLANs and VRFs
- Device Types
- FHRP (VRRP and HSRP)
