NetBox modules for Ansible using Ansible Collections

We have moved this collection to a different namespace and collection name on Ansible Galaxy. The new versions will be at netbox.netbox.

To keep the code simple, we only officially support the two latest releases of NetBox and don't guarantee backwards compatibility beyond that. We do try and keep these breaking changes to a minimum, but sometimes changes to NetBox's API cause us to have to make breaking changes.

• NetBox 2.5+ or the two latest NetBox releases
• pynetbox 4.2.5+
• Python 3.6+
• Ansible 2.9+

          name: Test66
          device_type: Cisco Test
          device_role: Core Switch
          site: Test Site
          status: Staged
          state: present

Using the collections at the task level

Using the collections in a role's task files

---
- name: Create device within NetBox with only required information
  netbox.netbox.netbox_device:
    netbox_url: http://netbox-demo.org:32768
    netbox_token: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567
    data:

  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: False

  tasks:
    - name: "NETBOX_LOOKUP 1: Lookup returns exactly two sites"
      assert:
        that: "{{ query_result|count }} == 3"
      vars:
        query_result: "{{ query('nb_lookup', 'sites', api_endpoint='http://localhost:32768', token='0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567') }}"
