# Netbox Topology Views Plugin
|
|
|
|
 
|
|
|
|
Create topology views/maps from your devices in netbox.
|
|
The connections are based on the cables you created in netbox.
|
|
Support to filter on name, site, tag and device role.
|
|
|
|
## Preview
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
The plugin is available as a Python package and can be installed with pip.
|
|
|
|
Run `pip install netbox-topology-views` in your virtual env.
|
|
|
|
To ensure NetBox Topology Views plugin is automatically re-installed during future upgrades, create a file named `local_requirements.txt` (if not already existing) in the NetBox root directory (alongside `requirements.txt`) and list the `netbox-topology-views` package:
|
|
|
|
```no-highlight
|
|
# echo netbox-topology-views >> local_requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once installed, the plugin needs to be enabled in your `configuration.py`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# In your configuration.py
|
|
PLUGINS = ["netbox_topology_views"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run `python3 manage.py collectstatic --no-input`
|
|
|
|

### Custom field: coordinates
