Building Dynamic Inventories in Nornir
Extending Nornir's functionality to build dynamic inventories from Netbox
Building Dynamic Inventories in Nornir Organizing your Nornir inventory into multiple groups based on device attributes is a useful feature that allows running tasks against specific groups of hosts. Other frameworks like Ansible ship with a powerful dynamic inventory management system that allows grouping and filtering. While Nornir 3.0 has a community driven Netbox Plugin, it is pretty basic and includes a simple way to pull in hosts from Netbox. In this blog post, we will see how we can extend this Netbox plugin to build a dynamic inventory with powerful grouping and run-time filtering capabilities.
