Introduction

Netbox2Netshot is a tool that allows you to synchronize your Netbox DCIM (using specific criterias) to Netshot so your devices would automatically get backed up by Netshot once added in Netbox.

The tool is coded in Rust and doesn't required any runtime dependency installed

        --netbox-tls-client-certificate <netbox-tls-client-certificate>
            The TLS certificate to use to authenticate to Netbox (PKCS12 format) [env: NETBOX_TLS_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE=]

        --netbox-tls-client-certificate-password <netbox-tls-client-certificate-password>
            The optional password for the netbox PKCS12 file [env: NETBOX_TLS_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD=]

        --netbox-token <netbox-token>
            The Netbox token [env: NETBOX_TOKEN]

        --netbox-url <netbox-url>

        --netbox-vms-filter <netbox-vms-filter>
            The querystring to use to select the VM from netbox [env: NETBOX_VMS_FILTER=]

        --netshot-domain-id <netshot-domain-id>

        --netshot-proxy <netshot-proxy>
            HTTP(s) proxy to use to connect to Netshot [env: NETSHOT_PROXY=]

        --netshot-tls-client-certificate <netshot-tls-client-certificate>
            The TLS certificate to use to authenticate to Netshot (PKCS12 format) [env: NETSHOT_TLS_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE=]

        --netshot-tls-client-certificate-password <netshot-tls-client-certificate-password>

The query-string format need to be like this (url query string without the ?):

status=active&platform=cisco-ios&platform=cisco-ios-xe&platform=cisco-ios-xr&platform=cisco-nx-os&platform=juniper-junos&has_primary_ip=true&tenant_group=network

If you plan to use TLS authentication, please provide a PKCS12 formatted identity file (.pfx or .p12), they can be created from .pem/.key/.crt using the following command:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out my.pfx -inkey my.key -in my.crt
