With the Slurp’it plugin NetBox users can easily onboard the network devices and inventory data that Slurp’it discovers into both NetBox on-prem and Cloud systems.

Yes, the plugin is free and available as OpenSource. NetBox Cloud customers will see the plugin pre-installed. Open source NetBox users need to install the plugin in their on-prem system.

Slurp’it has a ‘free for life’ license in every download. It allows you to discover unlimited network devices, onboard them in NetBox and keep in sync with changes (between NetBox and production).

It includes discovery of basic device attributes such as hostname, fqdn, ip-address, device type, manufacturer and platform. You can ‘map’ these into NetBox to the correct fields such as role, type, site, region, rack, position, etc.

For many users, this solves their main challenge for FREE! If you want extra attributes and data to be discovered and onboarded in NetBox, you need to buy a professional license.

Tip! The FREE version includes a ‘Professional’ license for 10 devices, so you experience Slurp’its full functionality.

Slurp’it uses TextFSM templates which was developed by Google to parse all the data See e.g. https://github.com/google/textfsm/wiki/TextFSM.

The templates turn raw networking data into structured networking data so that we can use it for automation or spreadsheets.

System will automatically enable the free license model.

For sure, with the GUI or by using our API.
