SolarWinds Integration Setup

This guide will walk you through steps to set up the SolarWinds integration with the nautobot_ssot app.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the integration, please ensure, that nautobot-ssot app was installed.

pip install nautobot-ssot

Configuration

Access to your SolarWinds instance is defined using the ExternalIntegration model which allows you to utilize this integration with multiple instances concurrently. Please bear in mind that it will synchronize all data 1:1 with the specified instance to match exactly, meaning it will delete data missing from an instance. Each ExternalIntegration must specify a SecretsGroup with Secrets that contain the SolarWinds administrator Username and Password to authenticate with. You can find Secrets and SecretsGroups available under the Secrets menu.

Below is an example snippet from nautobot_config.py that demonstrates how to enable the SolarWinds integration:

PLUGINS_CONFIG = {
    "nautobot_ssot": {
        "enable_solarwinds": is_truthy(os.getenv("NAUTOBOT_SSOT_ENABLE_SOLARWINDS", "true")),
    }
}
