New Features

Virtual Machines and Clusters (#142)

Our second-most popular feature request has arrived! NetBox now supports the creation of virtual machines, which can be assigned virtual interfaces and IP addresses. VMs are arranged into clusters, each of which has a type and (optionally) a group.

Custom Validation Reports (#1511)

Users can now create custom reports which are run to validate data in NetBox. Reports work very similar to Python unit tests: Each report inherits from NetBox's Report class and contains one or more test method. Reports can be run and retrieved via the web UI, API, or CLI. See the docs for more info.

  • #1527 - Replace deprecated pycrypto library with pycryptodome
  • #1551 - Added API endpoints listing static field choices for each app
  • #1556 - Added CPAK, CFP2, and CFP4 100GE interface form factors

API Changes

  • Introduced the virtualization app and its associated endpoints at /api/virtualization
  • Added the /api/extras/reports endpoint for fetching and running reports
  • The ipam.Service and dcim.Interface models now have a virtual_machine field in addition to the device field. Only one of the two fields may be defined for each object
  • Added a vm_role field to dcim.DeviceRole, which indicates whether a role is suitable for assigned to a virtual machine
  • Added a serial field to 'dcim.Rack` for serial numbers
  • Each app now has a _choices endpoint, which lists the available options for all model field with static choices (e.g. interface form factors)
