NetBox Scripthelper

Collections of utilities for Netbox custom scripts.

Install

The plugin is available as a Python package in pypi and can be installed with pip

python -m pip install netbox-scripthelper

Enable the plugin in /opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/configuration.py:

PLUGINS = ['netbox_scripthelper']

To ensure the 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 append the netbox-scripthelper package:

echo netbox-scripthelper >> local_requirements.txt

Helpers

DynamicChoiceField

Inspired by netbox-community/netbox#9326. This field allows you to select available models (such as VLAN, Prefix, Address) in the NetBox Script interface.

Supported locations:

  • /api/plugins/scripthelper/ip-ranges/{{iprange}}/available-ips/ - returns list of available IP addresses from the IP range {{iprange}};
  • /api/plugins/scripthelper/prefixes/{{prefix}}/available-prefixes/ - returns list of available prefixes from the parent prefix {{prefix}};
  • /api/plugins/scripthelper/prefixes/{{prefix}}/available-ips/ - returns list of available IP addresses from the prefix {{prefix}};
  • /api/plugins/scripthelper/vlan-groups/{{vlan_group}}/available-vlans/ - returns list of available VLANs from the VLAN group {{vlan_group}}.

You can set a limit on the number of result records using the limit query parameter. For example, /api/plugins/scripthelper/prefixes/{{prefix}}/available-ips/?limit=10 returns no more than 10 records.

Additionally prefixes/{{prefix}}/available-prefixes/ provides a prefixlen query parameter, which specifies that the returned networks have fixed size.

Example

import extras.scripts as es
from ipam.models import Prefix
from netbox_scripthelper.fields import DynamicChoiceVar


class ExampleDynamicChoiceField(es.Script):
    class Meta:
        name = "Dynamic Choice Field Exmaple"

    prefix = es.ObjectVar(
        model=Prefix,
    )
    # show available IP addresses from the prefix specified in the field above
    address = DynamicChoiceVar(
        api_url="/api/plugins/scripthelper/prefixes/{{prefix}}/available-ips/",
        label='Address',
    )
    
    # show available VLANs from the fixed VLAN group with ID 10
    vlan = DynamicChoiceVar(
        api_url="/api/plugins/scripthelper/vlan-groups/10/available-vlans/",
        label='VLAN',
    )
    
    # show no more than 20 child prefixes from the prefix {{prefix}} with size of 24
    child_prefix = DynamicChoiceVar(
        api_url="/api/plugins/scripthelper/prefixes/{{prefix}}/available-prefixes/",
        label='Child prefix',
        query_params={
            'limit': 20,
            'prefixlen': 24,
        }
    )

    def run(self, data, commit):
        # data['address'] => selected IP Address as string
        # data['vlan'] => selected VID as string
        # data['child_prefix'] => selected child prefix with mask as string
        pass

ExpandableStringVar

A small wrapper around the NetBox original ExpandableNameField for use in custom scripts. The field allows for numeric range expansion, such as Gi0/[1-3].

Example

import extras.scripts as es
from netbox_scripthelper.fields import ExpandableStringVar


class ExampleExpandableStringVar(es.Script):

    vm_name = ExpandableStringVar(
        label='Name',
        description="Alphanumeric ranges are supported for bulk creation. (example: my-new-vm[1-3].exmaple.com)."
    )

    def run(self, data, commit):
        # data['vm_name'] => ['my-new-vm1.exmaple.com', 'my-new-vm2.exmaple.com', 'my-new-vm3.exmaple.com']
        pass

make_link

The helper returns a reference to the object enclosed in the <a> tag. This can be useful in a script output.

...
from netbox_scripthelper.utils import make_link as _ml


class ExampleMakeLink(Script):

...

    def run(self, data, commit):
        ...
        prefix = Prefix.objects.create(prefix='192.168.0.0/24')
        self.info_log(f'Created prefix: {_ml(prefix)}')

IPSpliter

IPSliter splits set of networks to smaller networks with fixed mask.

from netbox_scripthelper.utils import IPSpliter
from netaddr import IPSet, IPNetwork

spliter = IPSplitter(IPSet([
    IPNetwork('192.168.1.0/24'),
    IPNetwork('192.168.3.0/24')
]))

# subnets => [IPNetwork('192.168.1.0/28', '192.168.1.16/28', ...)]
subnetes = spliter.split(28)
