netbox_textdatastore

Store raw text files for devices, like configuration files, unparsed command output or test results

TextData Object: ''' { "id": Int, # unique id "name": String, # Object Name, eg "device config" 'device': Device ID, # Device ID from Netbox 'hash': String, # Hash of your Text Data 'data': String, # Your text data, eg Device Configfile } '''

Example:

extend python-netbox
