Miscellaneous Parameters
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', '[email protected]'],
['Dale Gribble', '[email protected]'],
]
BANNER_BOTTOM
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Sets content for the bottom banner in the user interface.
BANNER_LOGIN
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
This defines custom content to be displayed on the login page above the login form. HTML is allowed.
BANNER_MAINTENANCE
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Note
This parameter was added in NetBox v3.5.
This adds a banner to the top of every page when maintenance mode is enabled. HTML is allowed.
BANNER_TOP
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Sets content for the top banner in the user interface.
Tip
If you'd like the top and bottom banners to match, set the following:
BANNER_TOP = 'Your banner text'
BANNER_BOTTOM = BANNER_TOP
CENSUS_REPORTING_ENABLED
Default: True
Enables anonymous census reporting. To opt out of census reporting, set this to False.
This data enables the project maintainers to estimate how many NetBox deployments exist and track the adoption of new versions over time. Census reporting effects a single HTTP request each time a worker starts. The only data reported by this function are the NetBox version, Python version, and a pseudorandom unique identifier.
CHANGELOG_RETENTION
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Default: 90
The number of days to retain logged changes (object creations, updates, and deletions). Set this to 0 to retain
changes in the database indefinitely.
Warning
If enabling indefinite changelog retention, it is recommended to periodically delete old entries. Otherwise, the database may eventually exceed capacity.
ENFORCE_GLOBAL_UNIQUE
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Default: False
By default, NetBox will permit users to create duplicate prefixes and IP addresses in the global table (that is, those which are not assigned to any VRF). This behavior can be disabled by setting ENFORCE_GLOBAL_UNIQUE to True.
FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE
Default: 2621440 (2.5 MB).
The maximum amount (in bytes) of uploaded data that will be held in memory before being written to the filesystem. Changing this setting can be useful for example to be able to upload files bigger than 2.5MB to custom scripts for processing.
GRAPHQL_ENABLED
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Default: True
Setting this to False will disable the GraphQL API.
JOB_RETENTION
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Note
This parameter was renamed from JOBRESULT_RETENTION in NetBox v3.5.
Default: 90
The number of days to retain job results (scripts and reports). Set this to 0 to retain job results in the database indefinitely.
Warning
If enabling indefinite job results retention, it is recommended to periodically delete old entries. Otherwise, the database may eventually exceed capacity.
MAINTENANCE_MODE
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Default: False
Setting this to True will display a "maintenance mode" banner at the top of every page. Additionally, NetBox will no longer update a user's "last active" time upon login. This is to allow new logins when the database is in a read-only state. Recording of login times will resume when maintenance mode is disabled.
MAPS_URL
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Default: https://maps.google.com/?q= (Google Maps)
This specifies the URL to use when presenting a map of a physical location by street address or GPS coordinates. The URL must accept either a free-form street address or a comma-separated pair of numeric coordinates appended to it. Set this to None to disable the "map it" button within the UI.
MAX_PAGE_SIZE
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
Default: 1000
A web user or API consumer can request an arbitrary number of objects by appending the "limit" parameter to the URL (e.g. ?limit=1000). This parameter defines the maximum acceptable limit. Setting this to 0 or None will allow a client to retrieve all matching objects at once with no limit by specifying ?limit=0.
METRICS_ENABLED
Default: False
Toggle the availability Prometheus-compatible metrics at /metrics. See the Prometheus Metrics documentation for more details.
PREFER_IPV4
Dynamic Configuration Parameter
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.
QUEUE_MAPPINGS
Allows changing which queues are used internally for background tasks.
QUEUE_MAPPINGS = {
'webhook': 'low',
'report': 'high',
'script': 'high',
}
If no queue is defined the queue named default will be used.
RELEASE_CHECK_URL
Default: None (disabled)
This parameter defines the URL of the repository that will be checked for new NetBox releases. When a new release is detected, a message will be displayed to administrative users on the home page. This can be set to the official repository ('https://api.github.com/repos/netbox-community/netbox/releases') or a custom fork. Set this to None to disable automatic update checks.
Note
The URL provided must be compatible with the GitHub REST API.
RQ_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT
Default: 300
The maximum execution time of a background task (such as running a custom script), in seconds.
RQ_RETRY_INTERVAL
Note
This parameter was added in NetBox v3.5.
Default: 60
This parameter controls how frequently a failed job is retried, up to the maximum number of times specified by RQ_RETRY_MAX. This must be either an integer specifying the number of seconds to wait between successive attempts, or a list of such values. For example, [60, 300, 3600] will retry the task after 1 minute, 5 minutes, and 1 hour.
RQ_RETRY_MAX
Note
This parameter was added in NetBox v3.5.
Default: 0 (retries disabled)
The maximum number of times a background task will be retried before being marked as failed.
