Import of NetBox 2.10.5 JSON data

[cs-1]

Environment

• Nautobot version: 1.0.0b1
• nautobot-netbox-importer version: 1.0.0

Proposed Functionality

Allow import of NetBox 2.10.5 JSON data.

Use Case

Migration from NetBox 2.10.5.

Sorry for posting this as a feature request but I have no idea where to ask this question. We're currently on NetBox 2.10.5 but would like to Migrate to Nautobot. Is it possible to migrate from 2.10.5 with the current importer? Thanks!

Hi, thanks for posting! Currently the plugin only accepts a stated NetBox version of "2.10.3" or "2.10.4" out of an abundance of caution (as those are the versions that it was primarily developed/tested against).

However, after a quick look at the NetBox 2.10.5 release notes, I don't see any database changes that should cause an issue. I'll update the plugin to accept "2.10.5" as a valid option when I have time (although I would also welcome a pull request, if you're so inclined - it should be a simple pair of changes to https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-netbox-importer/blob/develop/nautobot_netbox_importer/management/commands/import_netbox_json.py and https://github.com/nautobot/nautobot-plugin-netbox-importer/blob/develop/nautobot_netbox_importer/diffsync/adapters/__init__.py).

In the meantime, you have my permission to "lie" to the plugin by telling it that the export from your 2.10.5 instance is actually a "2.10.4" export - it should work just fine in that context. :-)

Great, thanks for the quick reply, @glennmatthews. I'll give it a try.
