NetBox Zero To Hero - Video 8 - What About Virtualization?

[@lazertis]

If you are running several (standard or distributed) virtual switches inside your ESXi Hosts and Clusters (e.g. for separating management, backup and payload traffic), you may also want to add this virtual infrastructure to Netbox, including virtual and physical cabling. This is especially interresting, when it comes to troubleshooting and tracing your VM connections. I haven't tried yet, but I'm pretty sure, this can be handled perfectly as well in Netbox. Additionally it would be a nice challenge to also automate import/sync of virtual switches.

i would love to see a tutorial how to automate it. Vmware is already a nice tool to get all those informations. By adding it manually to netbox, there will be some redudances and after time it wont be accurate anymore. Having a little script that would import the vms, ip adresses and vlans would be very nice!

There is a NetBox-Sync plugin project that helps with this.
