v2.7.0 (FUTURE)

New Features

Enhanced Device Type Import (#451)

NetBox now supports the import of device types and related component templates using a YAML- or JSON-based definition. For example, the following will create a new device type with four network interfaces, two power ports, and a console port:

manufacturer: Acme
model: Packet Shooter 9000
slug: packet-shooter-9000
u_height: 1
interfaces:
  - name: ge-0/0/0
    type: 1000base-t
  - name: ge-0/0/1
    type: 1000base-t
  - name: ge-0/0/2
    type: 1000base-t
  - name: ge-0/0/3
    type: 1000base-t
power-ports:
  - name: PSU0
  - name: PSU1
console-ports:
  - name: Console

This new functionality replaces the existing CSV-based import form, which did not allow for component template import.

Bulk Import of Device Components (#822)

NetBox now supports the bulk import of device components such as console ports, power ports, and interfaces. Device components can be imported in CSV-format.

Changes

Topology Maps Removed (#2745)

The topology maps feature has been removed to help focus NetBox development efforts.

Redis Configuration (#3282)

v2.6.0 introduced caching and added the CACHE_DATABASE option to the existing REDIS database configuration section. This did not however, allow for using two different Redis connections for the seperate caching and webhooks features. This change separates the Redis connection configurations in the REDIS section into distinct webhooks and caching subsections. This requires modification of the REDIS section of the configuration.py file as follows:

Old Redis configuration:

REDIS = {
    'HOST': 'localhost',
    'PORT': 6379,
    'PASSWORD': '',
    'DATABASE': 0,
    'CACHE_DATABASE': 1,
    'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
    'SSL': False,
}

New Redis configuration:

REDIS = {
    'webhooks': {
        'HOST': 'redis.example.com',
        'PORT': 1234,
        'PASSWORD': 'foobar',
        'DATABASE': 0,
        'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
        'SSL': False,
    },
    'caching': {
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': 6379,
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'DATABASE': 1,
        'DEFAULT_TIMEOUT': 300,
        'SSL': False,
    }
}

Note that CACHE_DATABASE has been removed and the connection settings have been duplicated for both webhooks and caching. This allows the user to make use of separate Redis instances and/or databases if desired. Full connection details are required in both sections, even if they are the same.
