This adapter fetches the following types of assets:

  • Devices
  • Networks

Parameters

  1. NetBox Domain (required) - The hostname or IP Address of the NetBox server.

The path should not include /api at the end, as this is automatically added by the adapter.

  4. Verify SSL - Select whether to verify the SSL certificate of the server against the CA database inside of Axonius. For more details, see SSL Trust & CA Settings.
  5. HTTPS Proxy (optional) - Connect the adapter to a proxy instead of directly connecting it to the domain.

Required Permissions

Users must have View permissions in order to fetch assets, as per NetBox Documentation - Permissions.

  • "NetBox will check for the dcim.view_device permission to fetch devices. If the user has not been assigned this permission (either directly or via a group assignment), NetBox will return a 403 (forbidden) HTTP response."

  • "Internally, in NetBox, all actions granted by a permission (both built-in and custom) are stored as strings in an array field named actions."
