Do you have any recommendations for a self hosted network analyzer that can visualize all the device connected to a network, different subnets, etc, and perhaps show the flow of data for each network device?
I’m probably asking for too much but sometimes there are cool projects out there that aren’t easy to find.
Netbox is a documentation tool. You can plug in Napalm to do some stuff but it mostly exists to catalog the intended state of the network.
It’s a wonderfully powerful tool, and Stretch has done a great job with it…but it’s not an analysis tool, it’s documentation.
Stretch is a pretty cool guy too. He strikes me as the kind of person that really wants to help colleagues “see the light” of the role Python and FOSS can play in network automation and maintenance. I respect that, a lot…finding enjoyment in the way you do things, and wanting to share that with other people.
