Add NetBox plugin - #137
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Introduces a new NetBox v1 data source with authentication, indexed object types, and a wide set of REST/GraphQL-backed data streams for sites, racks, devices, VMs, prefixes, circuits, power, and change history. This also adds default dashboards, docs, config validation, custom types, and pre-request token handling for NetBox v1/v2 APIs.
Expanded the NetBox plugin docs to describe the supported APIs, monitored inventory and capacity features, built-in dashboards, indexed objects, and known limitations. This brings the setup and overview documentation in line with the current implementation and makes the plugin’s lifecycle, power, rack, and change-log coverage clearer.

- Around line 6-16: Update the Authorization-header logic in the v1/v2 token

after cleaning; in particular, do not construct or send a v2 header from the key
alone when v2Token is empty.

Moved the NetBox edition compatibility and intended-state explanation from the intro into the monitoring section so the setup docs read more clearly and the feature summary sits in the right context.
Avoids malformed Authorization headers when NetBox token fields are blank or partially configured. The v1 and v2 token logic now only sets the header when a usable token is present, and strips common prefixes more safely for both token formats.

`headers['Authorization']` is set: when a secret-only token lacks the `nbt_`

construction when a key is provided or the token already has the prefix.

Avoid sending malformed NetBox v2 bearer tokens when the key is missing. This change normalizes the key value, rejects bare secrets without a key, and reports a clear error telling users to paste the full token or provide the key.

This change reorganizes NetBox default dashboards by grouping them into Capacity, Inventory, and Perspectives folders. It adds per-folder manifest files and updates the root defaultContent manifest to reference those folders instead of listing each dashboard individually.
Construct the NetBox Authorization header inline in plugins/NetBox/v1/metadata.json and remove the separate preRequest.js script. Also removed the scriptingVariables array and the preRequestScript reference. Accept header and ignoreCertificateErrors remain unchanged. This consolidates token handling into the metadata header expression and deletes the now-unused preRequest.js. See also these Jira's: `SAAS-10172` and `SAAS-10173`

Review comments at @plugins/NetBox/v1/metadata.json:
- Line 58: Restore pre-request authentication in the NetBox metadata instead of
building Authorization from secret-dependent inline logic in the base header.
Wire `preRequest.js` through `preRequestScript`, enable scripting, and expose
the token version and v1/v2 credential values through `scriptingVariables` so
authentication is set for both credential versions.

🔌 Plugin overview
Authorization: Bearer nbt_<key>.<secret>) and legacy v1 tokens (Authorization: Token <token>), with a deprecation notice when v1 is selected.Bearer. The header is built in a small pre-request script.Works with NetBox Community, Enterprise and Cloud, which all expose the same REST and GraphQL APIs. Uses REST for lists and counts, and GraphQL where REST would need several calls: power feeds with their rack and site, rack utilization, and rack elevation.
