The following are optional settings which may be declared in `netbox/netbox/configuration.py`. ## ADMINS NetBox will email details about critical errors to the administrators listed here. This should be a list of (name, email) tuples. For example: ``` ADMINS = [ ['Hank Hill', 'hhill@example.com'], ['Dale Gribble', 'dgribble@example.com'], ] ``` --- ## BANNER_TOP ## BANNER_BOTTOM Setting these variables will display content in a banner at the top and/or bottom of the page, respectively. HTML is allowed. To replicate the content of the top banner in the bottom banner, set: ``` BANNER_TOP = 'Your banner text' BANNER_BOTTOM = BANNER_TOP ``` --- ## BANNER_LOGIN The value of this variable will be displayed on the login page above the login form. HTML is allowed. --- ## BASE_PATH Default: None The base URL path to use when accessing NetBox. Do not include the scheme or domain name. For example, if installed at http://example.com/netbox/, set: ``` BASE_PATH = 'netbox/' ``` --- ## CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL Default: False If True, cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) requests will be accepted from all origins. If False, a whitelist will be used (see below). --- ## CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST ## CORS_ORIGIN_REGEX_WHITELIST These settings specify a list of origins that are authorized to make cross-site API requests. Use `CORS_ORIGIN_WHITELIST` to define a list of exact hostnames, or `CORS_ORIGIN_REGEX_WHITELIST` to define a set of regular expressions. (These settings have no effect if `CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL` is True.) --- ## DEBUG Default: False This setting enables debugging. This should be done only during development or troubleshooting. Never enable debugging on a production system, as it can expose sensitive data to unauthenticated users. --- ## EMAIL In order to send email, NetBox needs an email server configured. The following items can be defined within the `EMAIL` setting: * SERVER - Host name or IP address of the email server (use `localhost` if running locally) * PORT - TCP port to use for the connection (default: 25) * USERNAME - Username with which to authenticate * PASSSWORD - Password with which to authenticate * TIMEOUT - Amount of time to wait for a connection (seconds) * FROM_EMAIL - Sender address for emails sent by NetBox --- # ENFORCE_GLOBAL_UNIQUE Default: False Enforcement of unique IP space can be toggled on a per-VRF basis. To enforce unique IP space within the global table (all prefixes and IP addresses not assigned to a VRF), set `ENFORCE_GLOBAL_UNIQUE` to True. --- ## LOGGING By default, all messages of INFO severity or higher will be logged to the console. Additionally, if `DEBUG` is False and email access has been configured, ERROR and CRITICAL messages will be emailed to the users defined in `ADMINS`. The Django framework on which NetBox runs allows for the customization of logging, e.g. to write logs to file. Please consult the [Django logging documentation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/logging/) for more information on configuring this setting. Below is an example which will write all INFO and higher messages to a file: ``` LOGGING = { 'version': 1, 'disable_existing_loggers': False, 'handlers': { 'file': { 'level': 'INFO', 'class': 'logging.FileHandler', 'filename': '/var/log/netbox.log', }, }, 'loggers': { 'django': { 'handlers': ['file'], 'level': 'INFO', }, }, } ``` --- ## LOGIN_REQUIRED Default: False Setting this to True will permit only authenticated users to access any part of NetBox. By default, anonymous users are permitted to access most data in NetBox (excluding secrets) but not make any changes. --- ## MAINTENANCE_MODE Default: False Setting this to True will display a "maintenance mode" banner at the top of every page. --- ## MAX_PAGE_SIZE Default: 1000 An API consumer can request an arbitrary number of objects by appending the "limit" parameter to the URL (e.g. `?limit=1000`). This setting defines the maximum limit. Setting it to `0` or `None` will allow an API consumer to request all objects by specifying `?limit=0`. --- ## MEDIA_ROOT Default: $BASE_DIR/netbox/media/ The file path to the location where media files (such as image attachments) are stored. By default, this is the `netbox/media/` directory within the base NetBox installation path. --- ## NAPALM_USERNAME ## NAPALM_PASSWORD NetBox will use these credentials when authenticating to remote devices via the [NAPALM library](https://napalm-automation.net/), if installed. Both parameters are optional. Note: If SSH public key authentication has been set up for the system account under which NetBox runs, these parameters are not needed. --- ## NAPALM_ARGS A dictionary of optional arguments to pass to NAPALM when instantiating a network driver. See the NAPALM documentation for a [complete list of optional arguments](http://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/#optional-arguments). An example: ``` NAPALM_ARGS = { 'api_key': '472071a93b60a1bd1fafb401d9f8ef41', 'port': 2222, } ``` Note: Some platforms (e.g. Cisco IOS) require an argument named `secret` to be passed in addition to the normal password. If desired, you can use the configured `NAPALM_PASSWORD` as the value for this argument: ``` NAPALM_USERNAME = 'username' NAPALM_PASSWORD = 'MySecretPassword' NAPALM_ARGS = { 'secret': NAPALM_PASSWORD, # Include any additional args here } ``` --- ## NAPALM_TIMEOUT Default: 30 seconds The amount of time (in seconds) to wait for NAPALM to connect to a device. --- ## PAGINATE_COUNT Default: 50 Determine how many objects to display per page within each list of objects. --- ## PREFER_IPV4 Default: False When determining the primary IP address for a device, IPv6 is preferred over IPv4 by default. Set this to True to prefer IPv4 instead. --- ## REPORTS_ROOT Default: $BASE_DIR/netbox/reports/ The file path to the location where custom reports will be kept. By default, this is the `netbox/reports/` directory within the base NetBox installation path. --- ## TIME_ZONE Default: UTC The time zone NetBox will use when dealing with dates and times. It is recommended to use UTC time unless you have a specific need to use a local time zone. [List of available time zones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones). --- ## Date and Time Formatting You may define custom formatting for date and times. For detailed instructions on writing format strings, please see [the Django documentation](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#date). Defaults: ``` DATE_FORMAT = 'N j, Y' # June 26, 2016 SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = 'Y-m-d' # 2016-06-27 TIME_FORMAT = 'g:i a' # 1:23 p.m. SHORT_TIME_FORMAT = 'H:i:s' # 13:23:00 DATETIME_FORMAT = 'N j, Y g:i a' # June 26, 2016 1:23 p.m. SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT = 'Y-m-d H:i' # 2016-06-27 13:23 ```
