NetBox as the Inventory Engine for Monitoring
NetBox Labs is the commercial steward of NetBox, the open-source infrastructure system of record trusted by 10,000+ organizations worldwide. The NetBox Labs Infrastructure Intelligence Platform streamlines modeling, deployment, and management for both human teams and AI agents.
We’ll cover the NetBox Labs platform as the canonical source for devices and services, how Orb Agent and Diode keep that data current through automated discovery instead of manual upkeep, and how to pull inventory out via NetBox’s APIs and existing integrations (Prometheus SD, Zabbix, Icinga, Checkmk). We’ll close the loop with webhook-driven sync, so monitoring reflects reality in near real-time instead of the next batch job.
Live demo: orb-agent enriching NetFlow/IPFIX metrics with device and interface names pulled straight from the NetBox Labs platform, feeding a live Grafana dashboard.
If you’re running monitoring against an instance that’s drifting out of sync, or thinking about connecting the two, this session gives you a working blueprint.*
