Welcome to NAUTI

NAUTI (Network Automation Tools Integrator) is a CLI application that leverages an ecosystem of libraries built around asyncio that together can be used to support various network automation workflows.

The key features include:

  • Compare: The ability to compare network automation tools
  • Reconcile: NAUTI can be used to reconcile information between network automation tools
  • Diffs: Show differences between network automation tools

Quick Overview

Within this quick example the CLI can be used to sync devices from IPFabric (Network Discovery Tool) to Netbox (Network DCIM/IPAM).

The following command checks if there are any differences between the origin and target filtering out only one device. By default the command line nauti sync will run in dry-run mode. 

$ nauti sync --origin ipfabric --target netbox --collection devices --origin-filter "hostname ~ b15"
