Connect your NetBox IPAM/DCIM so Myrmex can read your source-of-truth inventory in real time — sites, racks, devices, IP addresses, prefixes, and VLANs. Myrmex connects over the NetBox REST API using an API token.

​
What Myrmex Can Do

Read inventory

Pull sites, racks, devices, IP addresses, prefixes, and VLANs from your source of truth, on demand.

Health & metrics

Check NetBox IPAM/DCIM health and metrics via the API.

Cross-reference

Correlate NetBox records with data from your other integrations during investigations.

Ask in the Workspace

Query your inventory in plain language.

​
Before You Start

  • A reachable NetBox instance (Myrmex connects over HTTPS; optionally through a Collector if NetBox is on a private network).
  • A NetBox user account whose permissions cover the objects you want Myrmex to read (read-only is enough for analysis).
  • Permission to create an API token for that user.

​
Step 1 — Create the API Token in NetBox

1

Open your API tokens

In NetBox, open your user menu and go to API Tokens (or Admin → API Tokens).
2

Add a token

Click Add a token and assign it to the read-only account. Clear Write enabled to keep the token read-only.
3

Copy the full token

Copy the complete token string, including the prefix, name, and dot separator — the format is nbt_{name}.{token}. Store it securely; you’ll paste it into Myrmex.
Scope the token to a read-only account and, if supported, restrict it by source IP so it can only be used from your Collector or Myrmex.

​
Step 2 — Add the Integration in Myrmex

From the Directory, choose Add Integration → NetBox, then fill in:

​
Connect

Click Connect to validate the token and finish. NetBox then appears under Environment → Integrations, ready to query in the Workspace.
Myrmex reads from NetBox in real time over the API each time you ask — nothing from your NetBox instance is stored on the Myrmex side.
