NetBox Target

NetBox Target

NetBox is an open-source platform for managing IP address assignments and data center infrastructure, offering centralized control over devices, networks, racks, and related assets. Integrating NetBox as a target enables seamless automation of IP address management (IPAM) and data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tasks through workflow activities.

Netbox endpoint targets require Netbox credentials account keys and are used with Netbox workflow activities to automate tasks such as device inventory, IP address assignments, VLAN management, and more.
