NetBox is indeed intended as a source of truth. It it tightly focused on being the very best DCIM + IPAM solution it can be, which means that discovery / reconciliation and assurance / monitoring are not a problem we're currently trying to solve.

Other products do those things well, and can integrate with NetBox via our extensibility facilities including API, plugins, and scripts. In fact, we just announced partnerships with a couple of vendors that do those very things: https://netboxlabs.com/news/strategic-partnerships-reduce-ad...

ok, very good, thanks.

So, (sorry I probably should read the docs, and I will, but I'm pretty curious now) the day we implement it, we have to plan to add all our data by hand, am I right? (IP, subnets, details on routes/routers, switches, login URI, notes, locations, ecc ecc..)
